"Another excellent dry white from Suduiraut in the vintage, showing apricot blossom, lime zest, saffron, turmeric, grilled cumin, lovely weight through the palate. 3.67 TA. 3.25 pH. Fermented in oak, 27% new, 23% fermented and aged in wineglobe. 70 year old vines. Harvest September 10-13, 3,000 bottles." (03/2025)

"Some soft wet wool aspects, creamy vanilla and lemon skin. Some salty, mineral notes on the nose, smells fresh. A combination of tropical pineapple and mango with bitter lemon and cream. Gentle and calm but this is so enjoyable, you get the richness as well as a lovely mineral bite. Forward and focussed, layered and nuanced. Really great, it’s soft and quiet, not a thick wine, but so finessed. Ageing 27% in new barrels, 50% from barrels of one vintage and 23% in wineglobe for nine months. Represents 3% of the production of dry wines. 3.25pH." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)

"More Sauternes in a way in its aromatics – that touch of lanolin that I am rediscovering in the dry whites from here this year. Glassy and more ample and less tense than the Vieilles Vignes. From 55-60 year old vines. So bright, so fresh and so wonderful in this vintage. The acidity reins in the Sémillon. White pear, assorted white flowers. More horizontal than vertical. Richer and fatter but the freshness animates this from the core. Exquisite. Vibrant and with a brilliant minerality." - Colin Hay (05/2025)
