Sauternes Chateau Suduiraut 2010
The vineyards that give rise to the Sauternes Chateau Suduirant are made up of 90% of Semillon, 9% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Sauvignon. Semillon in particular has a thin skin that is particularly suitable to be attacked by noble rot and enhances its potential. The blend of Sauvignon brings a greater aromaticity, giving a refined elegance. The soil is sandy and gravelly, it retains little water and forces the vines to look for deep nourishment, thus finding a marked minerality that gives balance to the opulence of the botrytized sweetness.
Suduiraut
Suduirant is located in one of the most suitable areas for wine. The origins of the winemaking region in fact already date back to the Romans, but the greatest influence was certainly that of the Dutch merchants in the 17th century that led to the production of sweet wines, still not botrytized. Only at the beginning of the 18th century the harvesting of grapes attacked by noble rot had become used. The estate has been owned by the family since 1580 and after various successions, in 1855 it obtained the certification of Premier Cru, intended for the best producers, able to give consistency to the quality of bottled wines. AXA Millesimes acquired the property in 1992 and since then has been able to guide the estate by exploiting the maximum expressive potential of the vines, inspired by the great Suduirant labels of the past.
