Wine Expert Note:

Château Guiraud Sauternes is a golden-hued Premier Grand Cru Classé from the Sauternes appellation. On the nose, aromas of honey, ripe apricots, and candied oranges soar from the glass, with touches of botrytis spice and sweet crème brûlée. On the palate, the wine is lusciously sweet and unctuous, with a perfectly balanced acidity that is harmonious with the ripe tropical fruits and candied citrus flavors. The finish is long and lingering, with a strong minerality. A truly remarkable example of Sauternes.

Château Coutet Cuvée Madame is a special release produced only in the very best years, coming from the property’s two oldest parcels of Sémillon. The average age of the vines on these plots is around 55 years. The selection process is painstaking as each grape is picked one-by-one by hand. Further sorting takes place at the wine press and damaged grapes are eliminated immediately. Alcohol fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels before it stops to retain sweetness, then the wine is aged in barrels for three years before bottling.
