The 1967 Château Suduiraut Sauternes is a distinguished example of a Premier Cru Classé from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated sweet wine vintages. Crafted predominantly from botrytized Sémillon grapes, this wine exemplifies the estate’s commitment to producing elegant and age-worthy Sauternes.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep golden hue with copper reflections, indicative of its maturity. The nose offers a complex bouquet of honeyed citrus, apricot, and exotic spices, creating an alluring sensory experience. On the palate, it presents a rich and velvety texture, with flavors of candied orange peel, tropical fruits, and caramelized honey. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by a vibrant acidity, adding freshness and liveliness to the overall profile. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and depth.
Notably, the 1967 vintage has been praised for its remarkable balance and freshness. Tasting notes highlight a well-balanced and vibrant palate, with a citric seam of acidity that remains present, contributing to its freshness and liveliness. Flavors of barley sugar, orange rind, and marmalade are noted, leading to a taut but long finish. This wine is considered one of the better 1967 Sauternes, improving with time in the glass and exuding great tension and freshness.
