Like all the whites this year at Suduiraut, the 2025 Grand Vin Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes has more Sémillon in the blend. It offers a striking mix of Sémillon richness and vibrant energy that is impossible to miss. I especially admire the wine's tension. Pear, dried lemon peel, chalk, mint and dried flowers build into the intense, saline-drenched finish. What a wine. Élevage will be nine months in French oak, 14% new. 04/2026

The 2025 Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Blanc Sec has a more backward bouquet than the Lions cuvée at the moment, with scents of grapefruit and yellow plum, pressed white flowers emerging with time. The palate is well balanced, with admirable purity, fine depth and attractive texture, with a touch of ginger towards the finish. This has a brightness and seriousness to it that is very attractive. 05/2026

The 2025 Blanc sec Vieilles Vignes, a blend of 66% Sémillon and 34% Sauvignon Blanc, reflects a slightly higher proportion of Sémillon than usual. It reveals a discreet, refined bouquet of acacia blossom, spice and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s both supple and structured, built around a fresh, fruit-driven core that carries through to a long finish. A fine, gently bitter edge brings definition and balance. 04/2026

Crushed citrus, mint, crushed stone, and white flower nuances all define the aromatics of the 2025 Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes, which is a blend of 66% Sémillon and 34% Sauvignon Blanc that's resting in 14% new barrels with the balance in once-used oak. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused mouthfeel, beautiful purity, flawless balance, and an incredibly seamless style. This has 13.7% alcohol with a pH of 3.39 05/2026
