Château Suau 2008 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. With its big, almost dry core of botrytis, this is going to be an intense wine - many years from now. For the present, the acidity gives it some freshness, while it remains concentrated.

Château Suau 2004 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
91-93 Quite a firm, rich style, which has a pile of dry botrytis character. It shows richness but not overt sweetness, with a great layer of acidity, which gives a crisp, fresh finish.

Château Suau 2009 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Lots of fresh acidity here, followed by a wine that is ripe, soft, open at first, then shows huge richness, complex and concentrated.

Château Suau 2011 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
91-93. Barrel sample. Initially this is just a seductive effort; but then its intensity and structure emerge, creating a wine of great complexity. Its botrytis character adds considerable weight.

Château Suau 2006 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
90—92 Barrel sample. Dry botrytis is the theme here, with richness rather than sweetness. Somewhere under all that dryness is acidity and flavors of sweet pears, but these are a long way off.

Château Suau 2009 Red (Côtes de Bordeaux)
- Best Buy
- $15
A big, dark and perfumed wine, with a good density of ripe fruits, powerful tannins and layers of spice, acidity and red jelly. It balances weight with freshness to great effect.

Château Suau 2009 L’Artolie Red (Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Fermented in large barrels to preserve the fruit, this is a dense wine, full of the ripe red-berry and black-plum flavor that’s layered with mint and new wood notes. Juicy, rich and concentrated, this is worth aging for at least five years.

Château Suau 2010 L’Artolie Red (Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Aromas of freshly-sawn wood set the scene on a wine that is full of new-wood toast and vanilla flavors. The fruit is also present, resulting in a wine that has balanced potential in maybe 4–5 years. A fine effort.
