Lions De Suduiraut - Blanc Sec 2022 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 2022 vintage was defined by challenging heat, frost, and hail, but diligent vineyard management resulted in a record-early harvest with pristine grapes and excellent acidity.

The blend is meticulously crafted, combining 54% Semillon and 46% Sauvignon Blanc. To ensure complexity without sacrificing the vintage's freshness, the wine is aged for six months in a split regime: 50% in temperature-controlled vats and 50% in barrels. The resulting wine pours a beautiful pale yellow and offers an open nose of white flowers and vibrant citrus, evolving toward notes of passion fruit. The palate is round and fresh, revealing delicious flavors of pink pomelo, pear, and roasted hazelnut. The finish is persistent, marked by a distinct saline side, confirming the wine's generosity and great freshness despite the warm year.
