Château Guiraud, next to Yquem, is one of the largest Sauternes estates and, unusually, certified organic. 65% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc, rich, broad & creamy, the excellent 2005 is just hitting its stride.
"The 2005 Guiraud has a slightly more reduced bouquet compared to the 2004, with dried honey, marmalade and just a hint of petrol emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, crisp acidity, touches of beeswax and almond defining the harmonious waxy textured finish. This needs another two or three years in the cellar, but it should evolve into a delectable Sauternes" Drink 2016 -2030 93/100 Neal Martin
