Critic's Notes

Antonio Galloni - Vinous Media, 94-96

“Superb. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, sage, mint and dried flowers all run through this super-expressive, savory dry white. There's real phenolic intensity to the Vieilles Vignes—a rich, deep white for the dinner table. Pretty floral top notes and a kick of tropical fruit brighten the finish.”

Alexandre Ma, MW, 95-96

Note unavailable.

Colin Hay, 92-94

“Incense, white flowers, nettles, gooseberry and gooseberry leaf, lime, almost a hint of the barrel room strangely (but not really a sensation of oak per se). Candlewax. There’s lots of lift. Actually, it’s richer and maybe less tense than you might imagine from the aromatics, but more serious for that. A nice tight frame that in itself frames, tames and concentrates the vivid energy. A wine of great finesse and class”

Jeb Dunnuck, 94-96

“The 2023 Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes is gorgeous, with a fresh, vibrant, yet textured profile that will shine right out of the gate. Minty herbs, honeyed citrus, crushed stone, and lime all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, concentrated, and incredibly lively and juicy on the palate.”

Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, 93

“Honeysuckle, white peach, lemon chiffon, and orange blossoms are all over the nose. Vibrant, juicy, crisp, and loaded with racy, sweet, citrus, and spice, this is ready to go on release and for up to a decade after that ….”

James Suckling, 95-96

“Real density to this old-vine white with dried-apple, peach and stone character. It’s full and dense but always vivid. I love the phenolics here. Fantastic dry white. From 40- to 60-year-old vines. 57% semillon and 43% sauvignon blanc.”

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 93-95
The Wine Advocate

“… offers up intense notes of fresh grapefruit and green mango leading to an undercurrent of lime blossom, fresh hay, and paraffin wax with a waft of clover honey. The medium-bodied palate has an alluring satiny texture, with a refreshing, well-balanced backbone of freshness and intense citrus and tropical flavors, finishing long and minerally.”

Panos Kakaviatos, 94
Decanter

“An excellent dry white, exuding acacia and orange blossom aromas, it has a delicate yet deep palate profile, with white peach, grapefruit and spring flower leading to a long, seashell fresh finish. Yet more proof of the success of the dry whites in 2023.”

Peter Moser, 93
Falstaff

“Pale yellow green, silver reflections. Floral bouquet, a hint of pineapple and blossom honey, fresh vineyard peach. Juicy, tightly woven, fine stone fruit, finely structured, balanced, delicate tropical fruit on the finish, an elegant companion at the table.”

Tim Atkin, MW, 93
