Chateau Suduiraut Description
Chateau Suduiraut Lions de Suduiraut Blanc pours a pale yellow color and immediately impresses with an open, ultra-fresh nose that feels bright and inviting. Delicate floral notes mingle with vibrant citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon, followed by a subtle mineral touch. On the palate, a round yet refreshing opening leads into a fleshy, crisp texture layered with flavors of pear, Granny Smith apple, and a zesty, lemon-tinged minerality. The finish is taut, clean, and mineral-driven, lifted by citrus zest that keeps it lively and refreshing. Easy to enjoy, beautifully balanced, and invigorating, this is a wonderfully accessible white Bordeaux to drink now or over the next five years—perfect with seafood, salads, grilled fish, or as a bright aperitif.

The 2024 Blanc Sec Lions de Suduiraut is fabulous. Intensely aromatic and deep, the 2024 is so impressive right out of the gate. Orchard fruit, white flowers, sage, mint and tomato leaf race across the palate, framed by brisk acids that pull it all together.

Smoked herbs and gooseberries with stones and sliced apples. Really fresh and medium-bodied, with good a texture and finish. Very good balance. Drink now.

Fermented in tank and barrel and already bottled, the 2024 Lions De Suduiraut Blanc is 56% Semillon, 29% Sauvignon Blanc, and the rest Sauvignon Gris. Clean, classic citrus, melon, minty herbs, and a kiss of spice all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a vibrant, pure, clean style that's hard to resist.

The 2024 Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec has a light malic bouquet with Granny Smith and freshly sliced pear scents, though it needs a bit more intensity. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, refreshingly malic in style and a touch of lemongrass that perks up the finish, which feels slightly dilute compared to its peers.
Decanter
Quite varietal on the nose, elderflower, green apple, white floral notes and some crisp peach elements. White peach and pear, super cool and clear, a light touch of acidity with a hint of citrus but this is more on stone fruit and mineral freshness. Not so plump really but balanced nonetheless and super easy to drink. Ends clean. Bottled in February 2025. Represents 75% of the production of dry wines. 3.15pH.
