Chateau Guiraud 2019

94+ Points - Jeb Dunnuck

Pretty notes of quince, honeyed orange, white flowers, and apricot-like notes all emerge from the 2019 Château Guiraud, which is medium to full-bodied and has a terrific sense of purity, a focused, elegant texture, and a great finish. Developing more and more complexity with time in the glass, it delivers an incredibly precise, elegant texture that keeps you coming back.

94 Points - James Suckling

Acacia honey, apricots, peaches, white tea, lemons and bergamot on the nose. This is sweet, agile and bright with a succulent, tangy citrus character. A nimble, zestier expression of Sauternes. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

92+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Pale lemon-gold in colour, the 2019 Guiraud springs from the glass with vivacious scents of lemon marmalade, orange blossoms, pink grapefruit and fresh pineapple with hints of candied ginger and musk perfume plus a waft of beeswax. The palate delivers concentrated citrus and dried pineapple flavours with apricot and spicy sparks, lifted by a lively line of freshness, finishing satisfyingly sweet and perfumed.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Distinctive, with the forward apricot, peach and quince profile of the vintage but with extra acacia, honeysuckle and heather notes, which add lift and length through the nicely defined finish. Although unctuous, this has some drive to carry it along nicely. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
