"A delight according to Le Figaro!
"Pale color. Intense, fruity and subtle nose. Peppery nuance. Meticulously textured, full-bodied and above all fragrant. The wine develops subtly, deliciously and full of life. A success." (Jean-Marc Quarin 2023)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The château is owned by four partners: Robert Peugeot, Xavier Planty (who manages the estate), Stephan von Neipperg and Olivier Bernard. Certified organic since 2011, and boasting an absolutely unique conservatory of Aquitaine white grape varieties (175 strains of Sauvignon and Semillon), Guiraud leads the way in respectful agriculture in the Sauternes region. Perfectly botrytized grapes are harvested with precision, to produce two types of sweet wine. The grand vin, with its finesse and rapid evolution in bottle, and the petit-guiraud, less voluntarily rich but capable of shining as an aperitif, as can be seen in the very elegant restaurant-brasserie that the estate has just opened. The dry Bordeaux G is less appealing, clean but too simple for its terroir.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 88/100
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
This Sauternes premier cru classé is now owned by four co-owners: Robert Peugeot, Olivier Bernard (Domaine de Chevalier), Stephan Von Neipperg (Château Canon-la-Gaffelière) and Xavier Planty. Under Xavier Planty's skilful management, the vineyard has for many vintages offered a perfect example of a modern, roasted Sauternes, very open in its early years, and which has gained enormously in finesse and minerality. Guiraud was the first of the premier crus classés de 1855 to be awarded organic certification, in 2011. The estate takes great care to respect the natural development of noble rot. The winemaking process, meanwhile, refuses the slightest chaptalization, as should be the case for all crus classés - a cause for which Xavier Planty campaigns. On terroirs not classified as Sauternes, the Château also produces a large volume of a dry white wine in the Bordeaux appellation, to be drunk young.

About the wine:
Château Guiraud 2022 "G" offers scents of wild peach and honeysuckle on what looks like a discreet nose unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening, a little richer than the others, but perhaps without the same tension and complexity on the finish. But I appreciate the texture of this G de Guiraud more than anything. 2025-2033
Le Figaro vins
Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
A fresh, light nose that evolves on buttery, smoky notes and aromas of passion fruit skin. Rich, buttery and generous on the palate, with a floral finish that lingers on notes of daisies. A real delight. 2024-2029
