Chateau Suduiraut Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec 2023

Bordeaux, France | Dry White Bordeaux | Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc & Sauvignon Gris

Château Suduiraut Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec 2023 is an elegant dry white Bordeaux from the renowned First Growth Sauternes estate. Crafted from a blend of 57% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 13% Sauvignon Gris, this expressive French white wine combines vibrant citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and subtle mineral complexity with a beautifully rounded texture.

Aromas of white flowers, fresh citrus, and passion fruit introduce a generous palate of pink grapefruit, juicy pear, and delicate toasted hazelnut. The Sémillon contributes richness and depth, while Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris bring freshness and aromatic lift. A persistent, slightly saline finish adds elegance and balance.

Sourced from approximately 20-year-old vines planted in the estate's fine gravel and sandy soils, the wine is aged for six months, with 70% in vats and 30% in oak barrels. This careful approach preserves the wine's bright fruit character while developing additional texture and complexity.

Food Pairing: An excellent companion to fresh oysters, grilled shrimp, seared scallops, roasted white fish, and herb-roasted chicken. Its balance of richness and acidity also makes it a versatile choice for soft cheeses and seafood dishes with citrus or butter-based sauces.
