      About
      Suduiraut Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classé 2011 is a sweet white wine, crafted from a blend of primarily Sémillon and a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc grapes, sourced from the prestigious Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France. This wine epitomizes the luxurious and complex character of Sauternes, known for its botrytized (noble rot) grapes that create intense sweetness and depth. The 2011 vintage showcases the exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship of Château Suduiraut, a first growth estate recognized for producing some of the finest dessert wines in the world.
      Producer
      The Château Suduiraut winery is located in the Pregnac commune, and its vineyards border the vineyards of the d'Yquem winery. The history of the estate begins in the 15th century. Only a separate wing has survived from the original building - in the 16th century, the estate was destroyed by Duke D'Epron. The château gained its modern appearance in the 17th century thanks to the Suduiro family, who also commissioned the impressive design of the gardens from Le Nôtre. In 1855, the Suduiraut winery received the 1er Cru Classé classification. The 90 hectare Suduiraut vineyard grows Sémillon (80%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20%) grapes. The grapes are harvested in several passes and fermented in stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 50 hectoliters. Then the wine is aged in small barriques (33% new) for 24 months.

      Sauternes
      All products from this village
      This appellation is home for elite dessert wines that are produced only from grapes with a high natural residual sugar level. Only Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Gris grapes can become a Sauternes wine - they obtain the high natural residual sugar level due to Botrytis cinerea or the so called "noble rot". The production is rather complex - grapes are picked out one by one. Some years harvesting can last up to a month. After that wine is aged in oak barrels up to three years. The result is an exquisite, fresh, juicy and golden dessert wine with white flower, honey and citrus notes. It is exactly the high level of acidity and sweetness that makes these wines perfectly balanced and exclusive samples.
      Bordeaux
      All products from this region
      Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
