G de Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc 2022

Gateway to Château GUIRAUD, G de Château GUIRAUD is a dry white wine made from grapes harvested at their optimum maturity on a dedicated plot selection. It is aged for 6 months on lees, half in stainless steel vats and half in barrels previously used for one wine, for the classified 1st Growth in 1855. The blend of 53% Sauvignon and 47% Sémillon, as well as a malolactic fermentation carried out on a few batches, gives it its uniqueness. Fresh and very aromatically expressive at the same time, G de Château GUIRAUD can be appreciated from its youngest age, adapting itself very easily to any moment and to any kind of cuisine. The first vintage marked by the arrival of Sandrine GARBAY at the head of Château GUIRAUD, this 2022 vintage perfectly illustrates the knowhow and competencies of the technical team at the service of one of the most beautiful terroirs of Sauternes.

Tasting notes:
Pale yellow colour, with great brightness. On the nose, passion fruit and pink grapefruit, paired with a minty freshness and a pleasant salivating savouriness. On the palate, we find the freshness of the ripe Sauvignon, then very quickly the evolution towards the roundness and the slightly brioche notes of the Semillon bringing a lot of flesh to this lovely and very accessible vintage of G de Château GUIRAUD.
