Château Cadet Soutard

One hectare. That is the whole property, and it yields some 5,200 bottles a year: an entire vintage would fit in a van.

It is wedged between Château Soutard, Château Cadet-Pontet and Château Dassault, on clay-limestone, and planted entirely to merlot with vines averaging thirty-six years.

Hand harvest, and ageing with 25% new barrels and the rest of one or more wines.

It should not be confused with Château Soutard-Cadet, with a hyphen: that is a separate property, in other hands. The names are close enough that catalogues and search engines mix them up regularly.
