波爾多Sauternes產區的Chateau Suduiraut，與著名的Pauillac村的Chateau Pichon-Baron、Margaux村的Chateau Cantenac Brown同屬赫赫有名AXA保險集團。Suduiraut的名字來自16世紀末的地主Léonard de Suduiraut；在19世紀的時候在市場上已經有非常高的聲譽，因此1855年的頂級酒莊分級時，將本酒莊列於Sauternes的一級酒莊。
Chateau Suduiraut位於Sauternes的中心精華地帶，緊鄰Chteau d’Yquem的北邊，土壤是砂質黏土為主。莊園廣達200公頃，其中92公頃是葡萄園，種植的品種以Sémillon(90%)為主力，再搭配合少量的Sauvignon Blanc (10%)和 Muscadelle (3%)，產品特色以典型Sauternes的華麗濃稠甜美著稱。在1970年代之後，本酒莊曾經有一度品質低落，直到1992年AXA接手後水準才漸漸恢復，甚至現在可以說Chateau Suduiraut被提昇到前所未有的高點；在最近一些年份裡，酒莊的產品水準常被酒評家們認為僅次於Chateau d’Yquem！
The 2015 Suduiraut comes with 123 grams per liter of residual sugar, more modest than some of its Sauternes peers and 4.56 grams per liter of acidity. It has a sense of completeness on the nose already: immense clarity with wild honey and quince aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very pure botrytised fruit, very focused and one of the most intense Sauternes you will find this year. It feels long and sophisticated in the mouth yet never overpowers, never really has to put its foot right down on the accelerator. This is a wonderful Suduiraut, not quite up to the level of the ethereal 2009...although not too far off.
