Chateau Suduiraut Premier Cru Classe 2019
Château Suduiraut was classed as a Premier Cru in 1855 and the property still possesses some of the finest terroirs in Sauternes. Hand crafted at every stage, it reveals remarkable finesse and complexity and a deep, golden colour. With age, the bright gold evolves to a dark amber colour. With a very long life-span, it powerfully and harmoniously combines fruit and floral aromas with candied fruit and roasted nutty notes. Château Suduiraut took its name in 1580 on the marriage of Nicole d'Allard to Léonard de Suduiraut. The château was plundered and burned down during the Fronde insurrection, then rebuilt in the XVII century. It was re-named Cru du Roy in the late 18th century on being taken over by a nephew of the Suduiraut family, Jean Joseph Duroy, Baron of Noaillan. The family home then acquired a cartouche featuring the Suduiraut and Duroy coats of arms, which was to give rise to the escutcheon used by Château Suduiraut today. The property was planted with magnificent formal gardens, designed by Le Nôtre, King Louis XIV's renowned gardener. AXA Millésimes acquired Château Suduiraut in 1992 with the aim of preserving and perpetuating the estate's remarkable tradition of vineyard management and winemaking. Inspired by the great Suduiraut wines of the past, the new management has enabled this great vineyard to fulfil its full potential in recent years.
Clemens Busch, Marienburg 'Falkenlay' Riesling Trocken GG 2021
In the glass, the 2021 Falkenlay GG is precise and tightly woven, opening with aromas of white peach, citrus zest, herbs, and a subtle smoky, slate-driven minerality. The palate is firm and linear, with layers of stone fruit, crushed rock, and spice carried by razor-sharp acidity. Structured yet graceful, it shows both intensity and finesse, with a long, saline finish. Among the first German winemakers to embrace organic farming in 1984, Clemens Busch is celebrated as one of the leading biodynamic producers of the Mosel, crafting wines that are both pure and expressive of their individual vineyard sites. They are members of the prestigious VDP organisation of the top producers in Germany.
