2011LionsdeSuduiraut(375ml)

Sans While it seems that the generally mediocre 2011 Bordeaux reds brought everyone even remotely associated with wine back down to earth, gold is still glowing in and around Sauternes. The dream run of 2009 and 2010 became a trifecta for many producers and the famed Bordeaux district stole the show from the reds during the En Primeurs tasting, with the wines described early as “opulent and aromatic”. A clear picture of the vintage emerged early with most commentators agreeing on superlatives, in fact, one could have wondered if a single drop of red wine had been produced – such was the focus of attention on the sweet and golden nectars! We have directly imported an affordable selection from this brilliant vintage.
