NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
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.
