Lions De Suduiraut - Blanc Sec 2023 750ml

Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec is a sophisticated dry white wine sourced from specific plots of the renowned Chateau Suduiraut vineyard in Sauternes. This wine offers immediate pleasure, serving as a crisp counterpoint to the estate's famous sweet wine legacy. The blend is meticulously crafted, focusing on Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and a generous 13% of Sauvignon Gris. This combination, rooted in the area's fine gravel and sandy terroir, delivers an impressive balance of fruit aromas and freshness.

The acclaimed 2023 vintage yielded fruit with great generosity and minerality. To preserve this quality, the winemaking is precise: 70% of the wine rests in temperature-controlled vats, while 30% is aged in barrels for six months, undergoing regular lees stirring to build texture. The final wine presents a pale yellow color and an open nose on white flowers and bright citrus, evolving toward notes of passion fruit and a clean mineral touch. The palate is round and fresh, revealing delicious flavors of pink pomelo, pear, and toasted hazelnut, culminating in a persistent, saline finish.
