Château de Suronde is an iconic and magical wine estate in the Loire Valley. This historic estate produces dry and sweet wines made of Demeter grapes.
As an extension of its approach to producing exclusive and refined wines, Château de Suronde has chosen to be a residence for artists. Each year, a Belgian visual artist will be chosen for a residency at Château de Suronde and a selection of his or her works will appear as labels on the different vintages of the concerned vintage.
