Château Suduiraut

A beautiful house, architecturally light and simple, Chateau Suduiraut is situated in the commune of Preignac at the heart of five villages of the Sauternes, Preignac, Sauternes, Bommes, Barsac, and Fargues.
At the end of the 17th Century the Comte Blaise de Suduiraut rebuilt the house re-established the vineyard which had been devastated during the Fronde wars. A little later, the magnificent gardens designed by Le Notre were completed.

The terroir of Sauternes coverin 2200 hectares, lies forty kilometers from Bordeaux between the left bank of the Garonne and the forests of the Landes. The appellation Sauternes covers the communes of Sauternes, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac, and Barsac.
The vineyard of Suduiraut covers 200 hectares of which 92 hectares of vines are planted in a sandy clayey soil.
In Autumn, the proximity of the Ciron and Garonne rivers gives a micro-climate characterized by misty mornings which are followed by warm, sunny afternoons. This privileged position, from the beginning of the month of September, encourages the development on the grape of botrytis cinerea, the famous "noble rot".
