Château Suduiraut 2011 (375ml)

Château Suduiraut, Premier Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the great historic vineyards of Sauternes. A rigorous selection in the vineyard and in the cellars ensures the production of Château Suduiraut’s wines, which are the accomplished expression of this exceptional terroir.  The estate is certified High Environmental Value (HEV), it is comprised of 91 hectares of vines, on gravelly, sandy clay soil. The stones capture the sun’s heat, thereby helping the grapes to reach maturity more rapidly. It is this unique terroir that gives the wine its outstanding opulence.   The rich resources of the Château Suduiraut terroir are due notably to its geographic proximity to the Ciron and Garonne rivers. They both provide ideal conditions for the development of the noble rot Botrytis Cinerea: cool nights and morning autumn mists followed by fine sunny weather during the day.  This “noble rot” is essential to the production of Sauternes.
