Winemaker Notes
Beautiful concentration of fruit. Attractive aromas of pineapple and wood. Rich in the mouth, deeply structured with plenty of fruit, full bodied. Its distinctions : a generous creamy, honey and fruity palate. Beautifully precise with impressive strength.
Mainly located in the town of Preignac, in the heart of the Sauternes area, the Suduiraut estate covers 200 hectares, of which 90 hectares are under vine. The soil consists primarily of sandy, clayey gravel. Due to its proximity to the Ciron and Garonne rivers, the estate has a special microclimate in autumn. Warm, sunny afternoons follow cool, misty mornings. This fosters the development of the famous Botrytis cenerea (or "noble rot") in early September.
Our winemaker Alain Pascaud assisted by his cellar master Sylvie Guyard bring the utmost care and attention to the quality of the wine. After a strict selection, a second wine called "Castelnau de Suduiraut" is also produced. The selection process is so stringent that it can even entail the total elimination of the grand vin (Chateau Suduiraut), when the weather is not ideal.
