Chateau Suduiraut Le Blanc Sec de Suduiraut (White) 2020

Jancis Robinson: 17 pts
Full bottle 1,244 g. 54% young Sémillon and 46% young Sauvignon Blanc vines were responsible for this. 25% of the blend was aged for six months in oak barrels (30% new) for six months.
Really Sauvignon-stinky on the nose. Then rich and broad on the palate. The best and most complete and satisfying example of this wine I can remember. In fact, perhaps the best dry table wine I can remember from a Sauternes château. More delicate than many dry white Pessac-Léognans. Creamy texture and lovely perfume. Just off dry and really admirably long. This would make a great wine for the table. In fact, I could imagine drinking it with various meat dishes – pasta with ragu? GV
