Description

Chateau de Suduiraut 1er Cru Classe Sauternes 2004

The Château de Suduiraut Sauternes is elegantly rich and voluptuous with almonds, honey and sweet candied fruits. This Chateau is located next to Chateau Yquem and there is just a single track road seperating the two estates. In comparison to Yquem this is supreme value for money and is one of the finest examples of Sauternes we have ever tried at Wineman. This delicious wine is perfect with all sorts of cheeses and desserts but is versatile enough to drink on its own if you want to enjoy the lucious honey characters without it being too cloying in the mouth.

The history of Chateau Suduiraut, in Sauternes, goes back centuries. After the total destruction of the property by the Duke d'Epernon in the 1600's, Count Blaise de Suduiraut replanted the vineyard and restored the estate to its former glory. The Chateau is a superb example of 18th century architecture. Aristocratic, classical, and bright in style, the Chateau is surrounded by charming gardens designed by Le Natre. The quality of this First Classed Growth is the result of the unflagging attention devoted to its crafting. Extremely low yields foster the concentration of sugars. Each vat is stringently selected.

Vinification
Fermentation in barrels thermo-regulated during 2 or 3 weeks. Ageing in oak barrels (30 % new oak) for 18 - 24 months.

Tasting Note
1st classed growth Sauternes. This elegantly rich wine shows orange peel and mineral notes on the nose. The palate is full bodied with almonds, spice, honey and crystallised fruits through to a lovely, lingering finish.

FAQ'S

Can you explain your shipping charges?

We charge the amount the courier charges us to deliver the wines. In the majority of cases this is £10.00 for a dozen wines. For local delivery we charge £5.00 as we can often do this ourselves, by local we mean Milton Keynes.

Couriers charge by weight and size and a case of wines is both heavy and bulky and so the costs are fairly high. The charges are the same if you are buying 1 bottle or 6 bottles but they change if you go over 6 bottles due the the excess weight and size. Couriers also charge a fee to cover fuel excess and this all goes towards the total cost not to mention the 20% VAT to be added to everything.

Currently if someone orders a dozen wines they are charged £10.00 but if they order 24 bottles the charge is the same!

If you wish to have your wines shipped to other countries the costs are extreemly high and often not worth paying for. The cost for example to ship to the USA for a dozen wines would be £100.00 for the shipping alone! Therefore we have taken the decision not to ship any wines outside of the UK.

What is your minimum order?

The minimum order is 1 bottle! I prefer it if people order more and you get better value with the delivery if you do this too!

What if I want to send wine as a gift?

No problem, we will send to your preferred address and even include a card free of charge!

We have two kinds of cards a blank one and a Thank you one. However if you want a Valentines one or a birthday card or anyother type of card please let us know. We will write your personal greeting and even include the soppy stuff. We don't charge for the cards as its our way of thanking you for choosing us to send a gift to your loved one.

What about a discount?

I may be able to take a little off the price if you ask nicely and there is a large enough order. Please do not ask for a discount on any orders under 12 bottles. Email me with your requirements and I will let you know if I can do anything. However the best way to get a discount is to sign up for the newsletter as there is often special offers given away to newsletter subscribers.
