Elegant 1855 Second Growth Barsac, renowned for its complex, organic Sémillon sweet wines.
Château Suau is a distinguished Second Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 Classification of Sauternes and Barsac, located in the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux, France. This historic estate, though modest in size at approximately 6.5 hectares, is renowned for producing complex and refined sweet white wines. Since 2014, it has been part of Bacchus Investments and is currently managed by Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier. The vineyard, with its gravel and clay soils, is now exclusively planted with 100% Sémillon, a change from its traditional blend. The winemaking involves 100% organic farming techniques, certified by Ecocert since 2012, with wines vinified in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new. The resulting wines are celebrated for their aromatic freshness, vibrant acidity, and notes of apricot, quince, honey, and delicate florals, offering a rich yet balanced palate.
