Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep golden color with amber highlights, showcasing its advanced age and concentration.
Nose: Captivating and layered, the nose offers aromas of candied fruits (apricot, peach), honey, dried fruits, saffron, and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with flavors of marmalade, gingerbread, honey, and tropical fruits. A residual acidity maintains a refreshing balance, and the long, persistent finish is marked by mineral and spicy hints.
Aging Potential
Although the 1965 Château Suduiraut is already several decades old, it still retains additional aging potential, especially if stored under optimal conditions. It can continue to evolve for a few more years.
Food Pairing
This exquisite wine pairs beautifully with foie gras served with fig jam, blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort, desserts featuring exotic fruits or apricots, Tarte Tatin, or as a refined aperitif accompaniment.
