The Château Guiraud 2001, Premier Grand Cru from Sauternes, reveals a terroir of gravel and clay. Made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, aged in barrels, it unveils notes of apricot, honey and citrus. Its unctuous texture and mineral finish make it an exceptional wine. Best enjoyed with foie gras.
A historic Sauternes estate, rooted in the gravelly terroir of Bordeaux, where a legacy of viticultural excellence has been perpetuated since the 18th century.
- Terroir: Soils of gravel, sand and clay in the Sauternes appellation, shaping wines of unique minerality and concentration.
- Vinification: Aged in French oak barrels, with respect for indigenous yeasts and a pursuit of balance between richness and freshness.
Tasting notes for Château Guiraud Guiraud 2001
To the eye – A golden yellow robe with amber highlights, dense and luminous, revealing an unctuous texture from the very first glance.
On the nose – Aromas of candied fruits (apricot, orange peel), blended with notes of acacia honey, butterscotch and a saline touch reminiscent of sea spray.
On the palate – A silky attack, carried by a lively acidity that balances the sweetness, while a chalky minerality extends a long, taut finish where citrus notes and a hint of bitter orange linger.
Serve at 8–10°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to bring out its full complexity.
