French tax inheritance laws forced them to sell the esteemed Chateau Suduiraut in 2001, so the Mercadier family bought the adjacent property, Chateau de Veyres, with its walled vineyards of 50-100 year old vines. After as many as 8 passes in the vineyard, the botrytis-affected grapes are tank fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak. C’est classique!
