John Gilman: Château Suduiraut is cut very much from the refined and elegant side of the vintage and, stylistically, is quite reminiscent of the lovely 2010 Château Rieussec. The bouquet is deep, complex, and gently glazed, offering scents of bee pollen, apple blossom, pineapple, oranges, honey, chalky soil tones, and a deft base of vanillin oak. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied, and very pure and light on its feet, with fine mid-palate intensity, sound acids, and very good length and grip on the complex and beautifully balanced finish. One of the stars of the vintage. 2015–35. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Wonderful nose, very citrus-fruit zest; beautifully balanced, fresh, moderately concentrated middleweight; sweet without excess, concentrated, vital, long across the palate, unctuous in texture but with a lovely, lively defining acidity, plenty of botrytis complexity, and excellent, noble-rot-spiced length; vivid Sauternes of great finesse and class and with terrific persistence—a beautiful Suduiraut! Slightly less opulent style than many recent vintages, very much to my taste—digeste—and with great length, too. A great Suduiraut, and if this is indeed representative of the final blend, then even better than the 2009. 2016–40+. 17.5/18+
