Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classé Sauternes 2008 375mL

Magnificent 128 ha property located in the heart of Sauternes, Château Guiraud has always cultivated a taste for uniqueness: first by displaying a resolutely modern black and gold label during the first half of the 19th century, but also by committing itself in the mid-1990s to organic viticulture practices rooted in its environment and the preservation of its biodiversity. The Château Guiraud, 1st Growth classified in 1855, is made from botrytised grapes harvested by hand in successive pickings, this goldsmith’s craftsmanship contributes to the purity and balance of flavours. 

The first vintage marked by the arrival of Sandrine GARBAY at the head of Château GUIRAUD, this vintage perfectly illustrates the know-how and competencies of the technical team at the service of one of the most beautiful terroirs of Sauternes. 

Château Guiraud Premier Cru: made from a blend of 65% sémillon and 35% sauvignon blanc, vinified using indigenous yeasts and matured for 18 months in new French oak barrels, Château Guiraud Premier Cru is a byword for purity and balance.

A great wine made with the grey fungus Botrytis cinerea (known as noble rot), it boasts a floral freshness, exotic notes and intensely sweet flavours with a dense, well-balanced palate. Delicately aromatic.
