S de Suduiraut 2016 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 S de Suduiraut Blanc is a blend of 56% Semillon and 44% Sauvignon Blanc aged in 20% new oak for nine months. It was picked on 8 and 9 September. It has a fragrant bouquet with apple blossom and cold limestone scents, fresh and well defined. The palate is well balanced with a lively, orange zest tinged entry. There is lovely balance and freshness here with a poised, quite stony and reserved finish. There is a big difference between this and the Le Blanc Sec de Suduiraut." 4/17

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2016 S de Suduiraut, the property's top dry white, is striking, A core of old-vine Sémillon gives the wine its distinctive textural weight and resonance. Orchard fruit, pastry, brioche and dried flowers are nicely shaped by French oak. Creamy and inviting, but not at all heavy, the 2016 has so much to offer." 1/19

92-93 Points, James Suckling: "This shows such density and complexity with sliced apples, hints of pineapple and minerals. Some toast, too. Medium body and lovely fruit. Gorgeous dry white. " 4/17
