Chateau Guiraud

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2027-2050

The Premier Cru Classé Château Guiraud is one of Sauternes’ most coveted wines. Guirard’s ambitions are limitless, with the aspiration to one day produce a wine that will rival its illustrious neighbour, d’Yquem. Sauvignon Blanc represents c.35% of Guiraud’s vineyard – unusually high for Sauternes estates. Selected from the oldest vines in the property’s conservatory, it continues to be replanted and vinified separately, which contributes to Guiraud’s luxurious, distinctive character. This is a must have for sweet wine fans everywhere.

The 2020 Guiraud has an opulent bouquet with wild honey and pressed white flowers, lightly spiced with a touch of lemongrass. The palate is well balanced with wild honey and orange rind. It needs a tad more acidity to impart more "bite" on the finish, so there is a nagging sense of conservatism that just pegs my score down. Even so, this remains one of the highlights of the horizontal. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

65% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc.Pale straw. Heady and floral and a little loose-textured. Just the merest hint of oiliness. But fun for early drinking! Even if it could probably do with a little more acidity. (JR)
