Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rouge

About this wine:

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux, Château Suau is a stunning 82-acre estate perched at the highest point of the appellation. With its vineyard reaching an altitude of 100 meters, this idyllic property combines optimal sunshine and natural soil drainage to produce exceptional wines. Surrounded by forests and hedges, Château Suau embraces biodiversity and has been certified organic since the 2014 vintage—a testament to its commitment to sustainability and the environment.

The Wine:

This Bordeaux Rouge is a refined expression of the region, crafted under the guidance of renowned winemaker Michel Rolland. Its vines, planted densely at 7,000 per hectare, thrive in clay and gravel soils, imbuing the wine with structure and depth.

• Flavor Profile: Expect a harmonious blend of red and black fruits—think ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and plums—layered with hints of earthy minerals, subtle spice, and a whisper of oak from its careful aging process. The tannins are smooth yet present, giving the wine a structured elegance that makes it both approachable and age-worthy.

• Aroma: A bouquet of wild berries, soft vanilla, and a touch of tobacco evokes the rustic beauty of the Bordeaux countryside.

A Legacy of Excellence:

Château Suau has been producing wine since its establishment, with the transition to organic farming in 2008 marking a new chapter of excellence. Its eco-conscious practices ensure that every bottle is as kind to the environment as it is enjoyable to drink.

Perfect Pairings:

• Meats: Roast lamb, grilled ribeye, or herb-crusted pork chops.

• Cheese: Aged cheddar, Comté, or nutty Gruyère.

• Comfort Dishes: Mushroom risotto, lentil stew, or roasted vegetables.

Why It’s Special:

Whether you’re a Bordeaux enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Château Suau Bordeaux Rouge offers a perfect balance of tradition, terroir, and sustainable innovation. It’s more than a wine—it’s a sip of Bordeaux history reimagined for modern times.
