Delicate and complex nose of citrus, peaches and pears. Very good balance between the volume, the length, and a nice freshness on the finish. This vineyard on the hills above the Garonne river has produced a ripe wine, nutty and spicy while also having balanced, perfumed fruit. This fine wine is rich and ready to drink.

Blend: 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon

About Château Suau

Château Suau is a remarkable vineyard whose origin dates back to the 16th century. Former hunting lodge of the Duke of Epernon owes its name to Messire de Suau who owned it in 1687. The castle, reworked in the 17th century by the Suau family which will give it its present appearance, becomes the property of a Bordeaux wine merchant at the end of the 18th century.

 The chateau has been owned by the Bonnet family since 1986. Under Monique Bonnet’s leadership, Chateau Suau has undergone an organic conversion and is today one of the few wineries in the region to be certified organic. Alejandro Bulgheroni became the majority shareholder in 2014, while Monique Bonnet, and her American husband Tom Kenney, continue to run the day-to day. Consulting vigneron, Michel Rolland and his team bring their expertise to the vineyard and the cellar.

Cotes de Bordeaux is located in the hillsides of Bordeaux, along the right banks of the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers. The Chateau Suau estate vineyard consists of 66 hectares in the Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux appellation and is certified organic by Ecocert.
