About the Producer Château Soudars
Soudars was the result of the consolidation of several plots, and a great deal of hard work that began in 1973. That was when Eric Miailhe acquired 15 hectares of fallow land in the locality known as Soudars; the soil was mainly clay-limestone, and was covered with large rocks, brambles and other undesirable plants. Today, Château Soudars, with Château Marquis de Cadourne with which it has been merged, has a very fine vineyard with 20 hectares of vines. The grapes are vinified in modern stainless steel vats, followed, naturally, by a period of barrel aging.
