Château Paradis Casseuil formely belonged to Château Rieussec. When purchasing the first classified growth of Sauternes in 1984, Baron Eric de Rothschild didn’t hesitate to add this jewel of the Entre-Deux-Mers to the deal. The vineyard of Paradis Casseuil was extended in 1989 to become one of the leading properties of the region
The vintage
Vintage 2017 was marqued by late frost on 27th and 28th April whichcaused severe damages in Bordeaux vineyards as well as other parts of France and in Europe. The crop was historically low, the lowest volume since 1991 therefore characterised by considerable heterogeneity in quality in the properties affected. Nevertheless, quality was there for those who were not affected which was the case luckily for Paradis Casseuil.
