2024 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes

With a history dating back to the 1600s, Suduiraut has mastered the art of cultivating the “noble rot” brought on by Botrytis cinerea. A beneficent fungus, Botrytis increases glycerol and concentrates sugars and acids by the dehydration and shriveling of grapes. Nothing is more important to the development of noble rot than the warm, moist conditions at the sites known for producing top-flight Sauternes.

Situated in the village of Preignac, the Suduiraut estate actually borders the Yquem vineyards, and possesses the same incredible diversity of soils and parcels, ranging from sandy-gravel to clay. In the 2024 growing season, four passes were made through the vineyard, into late October, to ensure each parcel was harvested at the peak of perfection. Vinification is classic, in barrels with careful temperature control.
