Wine:

What a discovery! The 2007 Sauternes Château Suduiraut is an ode to the Semillon grape variety, which makes up 92% of the blend. That year, the hot and dry weather of September allowed the botrytis to develop, making this vintage one of the most sumptuous of the last decades. Indeed, with an ideal balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity, this Sauternes wine combines all the assets of a great wine: the aromas of apricot, mango, dried fruit, pineapple, the touch of honey and vanilla, blossom in a full and deep frame, of great unctuousness. The very creamy touch brings an exquisite sensuality and the acidulous note an exemplary freshness. The finish is prolonged on candied orange and liquorice and closes this moment of pure delight. A very great Sauternes, with an extremely refined score, which still has many years ahead of it. One can already discover it with spicy dishes, a roquefort cheese or a lemon meringue pie.
