Château Dudon - Barsac

We enjoyed a wonderful tasting with Christophe, the 9th generation owner of Chateau Dudon. Christophe provided a fascinating history of the Chateau and the Saturnes winemaking process. We belong to multiple wine clubs in Napa and Sonoma California and have been to many wine tastings however this is one of our most enjoyable experiences in a winery. The tasting is an intimate experience with someone who has grown up in a winemaking family and imparts his knowledge and experience to his guests. The Saturnes wine is excellent and is made from organically grown grapes on the estate vineyards. We were offered tastings of vintages ranging from 2013 to 1998 each exhibiting different bouquets and flavors as the complexity increased with the age of the wine. Cannot say enough about this delightful experience.

Got to taste 5 different vintages of sauternes, which was nice. The hospitality was really good, and they were very helpfull! Visiting this chateu was a lovely experience!

Ce fut un plaisir de découvrir cette production familiale de plus de 4 siecles en compagnie de Catherine pour la visite. Les vins testés étaient a la hauteur du service et nous avons tous acheté notre millesime préféré.

This visit far surpassed our expectations - we only booked for a tasting but got far more. Don’t come expecting a polished experience such as in the better known chateaux - you will learn from someone who really cares about what they are doing and is highly knowledgeable. We tasted 5-6 different vintages and were guided expertly through each - being made to think about what we were tasting and the qualities of each. Thankyou

Wonderful tasting at this Chateau. We were given loads of information so as to really enjoy the experience

Accueil simple chez un petit producteur comme j’aime. Présentation du domaine familial et dégustation de 5 sauternes différents millésimes de 2019 —>1995. Convivial, généreux.

Merci pour cette visite, avec bienveillance et patience pour des novices. On est reparti avec beaucoup de notions et la visite a été très agréable et les commentaires du début de la plantation, vendange, fermentation et la production très claire et compréhensible pour tous, et maintenant plus avisé et après la dégustation, j'ai su que je préférais des notes florales et mon mari plus épicé. Beaucoup de chance d'avoir visiter ce domaine familial bio et nous recommandons sans soucis et accessibles pour tout les âges. Merci et à bientôt. Laëtitia et Christophe

The owner welcomed us and was extremely friendly, explaining about the Sauternes region, wine making and the history of the Chateau. We did a vertical tasting of 5 wines, all fantastic, but completely different. If you are in Bordeaux or near Sauternes, you have to visit them.

Lá visite a été três informative et interessante, dans un chateau familial de 10ha. La degustation a excedé nos expectatives puisqu’on a eu droit à une degustation verticale de 4 premier vins Sauternes (2eme grand cru) à partir de 1995. Je recommande!
