I visited this place a few times this year and their wines and hospitality always impress.. they are located right in the heart of Sauternes nearby the small, and extremely interesting city of Cadillac, and the village of Barsac, all about 40 minutes south of Bordeaux city. The guest house is an amazing place to stay, the accommodations are homey, and comfortable. The gitte's origins go back to the 17th century. Thomas Jefferson even stayed at this joint. The owners, Evelyn and Michel are fantastic hosts. Sharing a meal, a tasting or a tour with them is great, especially with Evelyn's passion for history, you are bound to get more than your average wine tour. There are also many other Chateau's nearby to visit while at Dudon. I totally recommend a visit there and look forward to planning an ADAM THE WINE GUY'S WINE TOURS with Dudon as the destination in the near future..Heres some shots of the view of Chateau Dudon, and the video a tasting of their 2005.. This is the same place that Thomas Jefferson stayed
this is the view i saw from my window each morning
most of the time people think of Sauternes and sweet wines strictly for dessert, this wine makes a wonderful apertif when paired with the right cheeses and accouterments.
lets get down and taste with this unbelievable value in a sauternes from Chateau Dudon, 2005. Stay tuned we will definately revisit Dudon..
