Château Suduiraut
The Suduiraut family has occupied this Premier Cru estate since the 16th century. The vineyards border those of Château d'Yquem where just a single wing of the original château remains. Suduiraut began seeing success in the late 19th century when it received accolades for its innovative means of grafting French vines to American rootstock to counteract the damaging affects of Phylloxera. This pioneering solution paved the way for Suduiraut to produce wines of superior quality decades later. In 1940, Suduiraut was revitalized under the management of Pierre Pascaud. Today, the vines at the chateau consist of approximately 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Most of the wines show best after about 10 years of bottle aging. In addition to a Crème de Tête and Crème de Tête Cuvée Madame, the estate's second wine is called Castelnau de Suduiraut.
