"Tasted at the chateau, the Suduiraut 1969 has a lucid amber colour. It is bridled with a gorgeous, mellow bouquet with heavenly scents of mandarin, lanolin, wax resin and pressed yellow flowers. It has wonderful definition . . . . The palate is medium-bodied with quite a dry, sharp entry . . . . notes of orange zest, dried apricot and again, mandarin and finishes clean and fresh . . . . attractive to those who enjoy mature Suduiraut. It actually gets better and better in the glass . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Produces the world's most celebrated sweet wines, made from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot. Rich, honeyed and remarkably long-lived, they balance sweetness with vibrant acidity.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
