Château Guiraud
Sauternes - 1er Grand Cru Classé
Description
Château Guiraud’s wine starts its life on a terroir composed of sand and gravel as well as deep limestone, clay and gravel earth. Once affected by noble rot, the grapes are harvested one by one before they are vinified and aged in mainly new oak barrels. This wine is absolutely perfect for sipping while enjoying a moment to yourself. It has a complex aroma profile and its creamy, silky palate is magnified by a great minerality in the wine.
– “In this 2022, 1/3 of the grapes in the blend were raisined. The nose delivers baked fruit aromas and the palate particularly silky, rich and dense, supported by a touch of freshness and tropical fruit flavours. An elegant Sauternes with a distinct personality.”
