Château Guiraud
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Damn amazing wine so solid and so much flavor with a nice bit of acid paired up with Food and Wines’s apple hand pie from scratch. Stunning!

Apr 5th, 2020For desert, which I forgot to snap a photo, we had Jenny’s Toasted Almond Sponge Cake with Housemade Citrus Marmalade & Toasted Swiss Meringue. The 2001 Chateau Guiraud was drinking nicely but will continue to develop for another 20 years plus. Beautiful fresh & dried stone fruits; apricots, peach, orange citrus, nectarines & pineapple. Marmalade, honey, nuts with skin, lovely round acidity, beautifully soft integrated minerality and rich polished finish.

Jan 19th, 2016Nutty, Carmel, touch of apricot. Elegant, balanced. This wine is a superstar with our Foie Gras. Not too sweet.. And will rock the tarte tintin, coming up.

Feb 15th, 2015Massive, complex, honeyed nectar! This is the first time I have revisited this wine since tasting it from cask at the UGC tastings in Bordeaux in 2002. It still seems just as young! Great acidity to balance the powerful, concentrated botrytis flavors!
