Chateau Suduiraut Lions de Suduiraut Sauternes 2016 (750ml)

A wonderful golden yellow in color, Lions de Suduiraut 2016 offers a nose that is initially tropical, with notes of lychee, star fruit and rose, leading into candied fruit and mild spices. On the palate it has a fleshy character, with energy. Aromas of very ripe yellow fruit, candied orange and acacia honey provide great generosity. The finish is clean with a touch of minerality and pleasant bitterness, enhancing the flavor of fruit. Although still very young, Lions de Suduiraut 2016 is highly accessible with great consistency between nose and palate.

Lions de Suduiraut has been specifically designed to reveal the pleasures of tasting Sauternes wines. With a specific blending style made of Semillon and Sauvignon blanc, it gives a unique personality to the wine. Smooth, subtle, fresh and mineral, with a creative profile, Lions de Suduiraut is modern and pleasant to taste young.

93% Sémillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc aged in 50% in new barrels, 50% from barrels of one vintage, for 16 to 18 months.

The pale lemon colored 2016 Lions de Suduiraut gives up quite earthy scents of fungi, moss and fallen leaves over a core of peach preserves, dried apricots, poached pears and orange marmalade. The palate is beautifully layered with stone fruit and citrus notions, framed with just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy. Anticipated Maturity: 2019-2033
