"The 2023 Blanc Sec Lions de Suduiraut is terrific. Bright and vibrant, it delivers notes of ripe pear, ginger, white flowers and chamomile. The 2023 strikes me as a bit richer and creamier than some past editions, but that's not a bad thing for a wine that is basically made to be purchased and consumed within a fairly short time frame. What a delight." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2023 Lions Sec de Suduiraut, a blend of 57% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Sauvignon Gris, possesses a varietal, fresh bouquet of herbs, lemon oil, spring flowers and white fruits. Juicy and tense with a moderately weighted mid-palate, it’s fresh and delicate with a delicately phenolic texture and a mouthwatering finish. Already bottled." -Yohan Castaing

"With linden, orange rind and iodine aromatics presaging a fresh, linear palate that is sheer joy to drink, this wine will be perfect for opening your summer party or serving at a high-end picnic, with the Suduiraut name. The majority Sémillon lends mid palate opulence. I like the balance between the acidity and the alcohol. Barrel ageing will give this more delineation and breadth - and potential for a higher score."

"From a dedicated parcel on the Suduiraut Sauternes estate, this dry white wine has ripe white fruit, an aroma of mango and spice and ripe white fruit flavors. Drink from 2025." -Roger Voss
