Wine Description:
This classic from the Sauternes appellation, located in the Preignac commune, holds the prestigious Premier Cru Classé classification in the 1855 classification. Founded in 1592 by Léonard de Suduiraut, Château Suduiraut encompasses approximately 200 hectares, with nearly 92 hectares dedicated to vineyards, predominantly Sémillon. The estate also features a beautifully romantic park. Under Christian Seely's guidance, Château Suduiraut consistently produces exquisite and delicate sweet wines, rivaling its renowned terroir neighbors, Yquem and Rieussec. The Grand Vin, with an annual production of around 100,000 bottles, exemplifies uncompromising quality, as evidenced by occasional entire harvest declassifications in challenging vintages, demonstrating a commitment to excellence. Additionally, Château Suduiraut crafts an outstanding second wine, Castelnau de Suduiraut, and a refreshing white wine named "S" de Suduiraut.

Expert Rating:
4.3
Dog Point Section 94, from the esteemed Marlborough winery, bears witness to Sauvignon Blanc vines averaging 24 years, save for Section 94, where vines surpass 30 years. Nestled at the convergence of Brancott and Omaka valleys, this exceptional white wine is organically cultivated and fermented in oak barrels. Tasting a glass of Dog Point Section 94 is a journey to the roots, originating from the first vines planted in this corner of the world in 1975. Co-founders Ivan Sutherland and James Healy, influenced by Cloudy Bay, initiated Dog Point in 2002. Section 94, grown on clayey, loamy soils with optimal drainage, thrives in the sunny, dry climate with significant day-night temperature shifts. Hand-harvested and whole-cluster vinified, this wine undergoes pressing and fermentation with stems, resulting in a tannic, full-bodied composition enriched with polyphenols. Aged in oak for approximately 18 months, Dog Point Section 94 is bottled without fining, embodying the essence of its unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship.
