129. Château Guiraud, Sauternes “The 2020 Guiraud is very delicate and beautiful. Hints of jasmine, lemon confit, green pear, mint and chamomile lend vibrancy to this mid-weight, wonderfully nuanced Sauternes. The mid-weight style of 2020 is hugely appealing. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2040.” 94 pts, Vinous 362189 0.375 $60 130. Château de Rayne-Vigneau, Sauternes “The 2020 Rayne-Vigneau is gorgeous. Ripe pear, orange confit, flowers, mint, apple tart and spice all meld together effortlessly. The 2020 has developed into a classy, subtle Sauternes with a ton of nuance and depth, but no excess weight. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2040.” 93 pts, Vinous 362804 0.375 $60 131. Château Suduiraut, Sauternes “The 2020 Suduiraut, 100% Semillon, is pale to medium lemon-gold in color. It needs a little swirling to unlock vibrant scents of apple pie, pineapple upside-down cake, and pear tart, followed by hints of saffron, crushed stones, salted almonds, and acacia honey with a hint of jasmine tea. The palate is a firework display of pears, apples, baking spices, and floral notes, framed by a racy backbone and creamy texture, finishing long and layered.” 97 pts, The Wine Independent 362710 0.375 $75
