Anecdotes about the domain

Last year, we had the addition of a new grape maturity control system: wild boars. When they started tasting the grapes from the plots near our woods, we knew that the harvest was not far away!

The domain's short story

Our Château is deeply marked by the tradition and history of its various owners. The castle was once a hunting lodge. Suau is the family that undertook a complete restoration during the 17th century, today this castle still bears their name. The estate belonged to Clément Gopp of Bordeaux, a wine merchant who was described as the Lord of Suau in 1750.

The winemaker's pride

Our Château is a magnificent vineyard of 82 hectares, located on the slopes of the Cadillac appellation. Our 66 hectares of vines, all in one piece, surround the farm buildings. The vineyard produces wines of different Bordeaux appellations. The soil is mainly composed of clay and gravel. The different grape varieties are adapted to the predominant soil type. The south-south-east exposure on the top of the slopes allows both ideal sunshine for the vines and natural drainage of the soil. The vineyard is surrounded by forests and hedges, aiming to maintain biodiversity and a balance between cultivated and wild areas. In 2008, our estate began its conversion to organic farming. Since the 2014 vintage, all wines produced are Ecocert certified and are made under the direction of Michel Rolland.
