ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The history of Chteau Suduiraut, in Sauternes, goes back to centuries. After the total destruction of the property by the Duke dEpernon in the 1600s, Count Blaise de Suduiraut replanted the vineyard and restored the estate to its former glory. On 18 April 1855 the estate was classed as a Premier Cru during the official wine classification programme in the Gironde winegrowing area. AXA Millsimes acquired Suduiraut in 1992 with the aim of preserving and perpetuating the estates remarkable tradition of vineyard management and winemaking. Inspired by the great Suduiraut wines of the past, the new management has enabled this great vineyard to fulfill its full potential in recent years.
