Château Guiraud

Sauternes Premier Cru 1855

Given that the village has lent its name to the appellation, it seems surprising that only two châteaux in Sauternes were granted Premier Cru status in 1855. When you learn that one of those two was Château d'Yquem, it becomes less surprising. The other was Château Guiraud. The name derives from a Pierre Guiraud (or Guiraut), who purchased the estate in 1766.

Today, Guiraud is owned by a consortium - Robert Peugeot, Stephan von Niepperg, Olivier Bernard and Xavier Planty. They bought the estate in 2006 from the Narby family who had already done much work renovating Guiraud over the previous 20 years.

There 85ha of vineyard, given over to 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in new wood, before ageing for 2 years.

A second wine is produced called Le Dauphin de Château Guiraud, as well as a dry white called G de Guiraud.



2009 LE G DE GUIRAUD Bordeaux Blanc Château Guiraud
2009 LE G DE GUIRAUD Bordeaux Blanc Château Guiraud
Bordeaux France
The dry white wine of Chateau Guiraud in Sauternes and fabulously good in this vintage. 70% Semillon, and 30% Sauvignon. First tasted as a barrel-sample, it had a still very youthful spiky nettliness on the nose, but the palate is already sophisticated - complex and interesting, rocky minerals, cool classicism with earthy spice, very long and controlled and fresh.
