Next up, Chateau Suduiraut, owned by AXA Millesimes. Don't have their exact price to hand, but up around 20% from last year. (update 42 euros).

Are they trying to completely kill off the 2007 campaign before it has even begun? It's one thing saying that Sauternes are in a different market from the red wines, and that they have a niche audience and have had great reviews etc, but talk about letting a few good points go to your head.

Parker points now circling... hopefully he can throw a bucket of cold water over them!
