The vineyard of Château Suiduiraut extends over 92 hectares and enjoys ideal conditions for the development of noble rot, due to the proximity of the Ciron and Garonne rivers and poor and filtering sandy-gravelly soils, which can capture the heat of the sun to achieve earlier ripening of the grapes. 90% of the grape varieties in the Suduiraut vineyard are made up of Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon. The wines of Château Suduiraut are distinguished by both their opulence and their minerality.
In 1580, the wine estate took the name of Suduiraut and the Château, looted and then burned down during the Fronde, was rebuilt in the 17th century. It was then taken over by a nephew of the Suduiraut family, Jean Joseph Duroy, who changed its name to Cru du Roy. It was not until the end of the 18th century that it took the name of Suduiraut. It was under the influence of the Dutch merchants, who were then very present in the Barsac vineyards, who produced sweet white wines but without noble rot, that Sauternes wines as we know them today were born, with the practice of successive sorting on an over-ripe harvest.
The Château was then embellished with superb French-style gardens designed by Le Nôtre, famous gardener to King Louis XIV, and in 1855, was classified as a Premier Cru. AXA Millésimes acquired it in 1992.
