Château Suduiraut, classified as Premier Cru in 1855, is made from grapes selected from the best terroirs of the domain. This artisanal wine reveals remarkable finesse and complexity, with a golden color reminiscent of the sun that made it possible. Over time, the bright gold evolves into a dark amber color. The wine combines powerful and harmonious fruit and flower aromas with roasted and candied notes.

The blend consists of 100% Sémillon grapes from three selective picking rounds. After harvest, the wine matures for 6 to 20 months in barrels, of which 50% are new barrels and 50% are second filling.

Château Suduiraut: Premier Cru Classé from the Heart of Sauternes

Château Suduiraut stands among the elite producers of Sauternes. Classified as a Premier Cru Classé in 1855, this estate has earned its reputation through centuries of excellence. With roots tracing back to the 16th century and vineyards adjacent to Château d’Yquem, Suduiraut is renowned for crafting refined sweet wines and, more recently, outstanding dry white cuvées from old vines.

A Unique Terroir in Preignac

Located in Preignac, in the southern part of Bordeaux, Château Suduiraut spans 91 hectares planted on a mosaic of gravelly sand and clay soils. The estate's proximity to the Ciron river ensures the morning mists and warm afternoons necessary for the development of Botrytis cinerea—the noble rot essential to the world’s greatest sweet wines.

Style: Luscious Sweet Wines, Vibrant Dry Whites

Suduiraut is famed for its 100% Sémillon-based Sauternes, distinguished by their clarity, length, and layered aromas of candied citrus, honey, flowers, and spice. The wines mature for 16 to 20 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, developing beautifully over decades.

In recent years, Suduiraut has also gained recognition for its dry white wines:

  • Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Blanc Sec – a Grand Vin with depth and aging potential.
  • Pur Sémillon – a rare and pure expression of the grape.
  • Lions de Suduiraut – fresh, vibrant, and highly food-friendly.

Today, 65% of Suduiraut’s production is dedicated to dry whites, reflecting its innovative and forward-thinking winemaking philosophy.

Innovation Under AXA Millésimes

Since 1992, Château Suduiraut has been part of AXA Millésimes, the prestigious group behind leading estates such as Pichon Baron, Petit Village, and Quinta do Noval. Under the leadership of Christian Seely and technical director Pierre Montégut, both vineyard management and vinification have reached new heights. Traditional techniques are enhanced with modern precision—from gentle pressing and native yeast fermentation to tailored bâtonnage and barrel aging.
