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.
