Big and round and luscious but it lacks the tension of the 2017. I think you probably need to drink this style young. Drinking range: 2018 - 2018 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2018)

An equal blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Aromas of citrus, freshly cut grass and oak creaminess, then a mid-eight palate with energy, lifted by lemon acidity. Aged in barrels previously used for Guiraud's famous sauternes. Drinking range: 2018 - 2021 Rating: 91 Decanter Magazine (Jun 2018)
One of the most lauded names of Sauternes, Guiraud has picked its grapes early and produced a very good dry white wine. The smoky, enticing blend of sémillon and sauvignon blanc gives it intensity of flavour and depth.Will Lyons, The Sunday Times (Apr 2018)
Attractive citrus, grassy elements and lighter stone fruits lead to pawpaw and ripe melon on the palate in a fresh, approachable style. Drink or hold. Rating: 91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2018)
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.
