Château Suduiraut

The Château Suduiraut is one of the finest wines from the Sauternes vineyard. The property dates back to the 17th century and boasts sumptuous gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the vineyard.

The Château Suduiraut was named Premier Grand Cru Classé in the classification of Bordeaux wines officialized in 1855 for the Paris Universal Exhibition.

Owned by the AXA millésimes group since 1992, its quality and reputation have grown steadily to become today one of the finest wines of Sauternes. Nothing is left to chance to meet this objective: passion of the teams, tailor-made choice of plots, selective harvesting, rigorous vinification and blending.

The Château Suduiraut watches over a 91-hectare vineyard planted on sandy-clay gravel soils. The grape varieties are 90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are aged for 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

In liquoreux, the estate produces a Second wine, Les Lions de Suduiraut, as well as a third wine, Castelnau de Suduiraut.

The estate also produces four Sec white wines in the Bordeaux appellation, which are in order of quality: the grand vin, a Pur Sémillon cuvée, Lions de Suduiraut and S de Suduiraut.

Description Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes 2023.

Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Grand Vin Blanc Sec comes from our prestigious terroir of Premier Cru Classé de Sauternes. This wine is made from a precise selection of parcels of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, whose vines have an average age of 45 years, specifically identified to reveal all the elegance and concentration of these two grape varieties. The result is a wine that perfectly reflects the strength of our terroir.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

- Late autumn and winter 2022/2023 with abundant rainfall (350 mm cumulative rainfall, i.e. 30% more than the previous year).
- april 4 and 5: a frost episode occurred, but fortunately with limited impact thanks to late budburst.
- A warm spring (Sec) contributed to the vine's development, with very good cluster emergence.
- Ideal weather conditions for flowering, with a very generous harvest potential.
- July: precipitation and high temperatures favored an attack of mildew, which was fortunately kept under control.
- August: a cool, overcast start to the month, followed by the return of warm Sec weather to perfect the ripening of the grapes.

HARVESTING

Harvesting of our grapes for the Secs whites began on August 24 with the young vine plots and ended on September 8 (12 days of harvesting in total). We find a fresh style, with good fruit, greediness and beautiful minerality. For Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Grand Vin Blanc Sec, plots were harvested from August 25 to September 8.
