Wine Description:
This classic from the Sauternes appellation, located in the Preignac commune, holds the prestigious Premier Cru Classé classification in the 1855 classification. Founded in 1592 by Léonard de Suduiraut, Château Suduiraut encompasses approximately 200 hectares, with nearly 92 hectares dedicated to vineyards, predominantly Sémillon. The estate also features a beautifully romantic park. Under Christian Seely's guidance, Château Suduiraut consistently produces exquisite and delicate sweet wines, rivaling its renowned terroir neighbors, Yquem and Rieussec. The Grand Vin, with an annual production of around 100,000 bottles, exemplifies uncompromising quality, as evidenced by occasional entire harvest declassifications in challenging vintages, demonstrating a commitment to excellence. Additionally, Château Suduiraut crafts an outstanding second wine, Castelnau de Suduiraut, and a refreshing white wine named "S" de Suduiraut.
