Description

Château Guiraud 2017

Appellation: Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

Grape varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle

Vintage: 2017

Origin and background

Château Guiraud is a major benchmark for Sauternes sweet wines, renowned for its elegant, well-balanced style. The 2017 vintage benefited from weather favourable to noble rot, with a late harvest offering grapes rich in sugar and acidity, guaranteeing freshness and complexity. This vintage expresses all the finesse and purity of the terroir, with beautiful aromatic maturity.

Tasting

Colour: Luminous golden yellow with amber highlights.

Nose: Intense and delicate, combining aromas of candied citrus fruit, ripe apricot, honey, white flowers and light spicy notes (vanilla, ginger).

Palate: Unctuous, full-bodied attack. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by fresh, invigorating acidity. The wine reveals complex flavours of candied fruit, honey and citrus zest, with a long, lingering finish of great elegance.

Review

Scores :

- Wine Advocate: 93/100

Suggested pairings

Pairs perfectly with fruit desserts, lemon meringue pie, pan-fried foie gras, or blue cheeses such as Roquefort. It can also be enjoyed with spicy or Asian dishes for a delicious contrast.
