Chateau Guiraud Sauternes 2014

Chateau Guiraud is a Premier Grand Cru Classe estate producing a richly honeyed Sauternes from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Expect luscious notes of apricot, peach, candied citrus, saffron, and vanilla, with a vibrant acidity that balances the wine's opulent sweetness and gives it remarkable aging potential.

Food Pairing: Foie gras, Roquefort and other blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, and fresh stone fruit tarts pair beautifully.

95 Points - James Suckling

The lush mango and papaya nose leads into a wonderfully rich and concentrated palate, which also has bright acidity that really lights the whole thing up and pulls your hand back to the glass for more! Drink or hold.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Chateau Guiraud 2014 has a perfumed bouquet with clear honey, beeswax and honeysuckle aromas that are well defined. The palate is fresh and taut on the entry: good tension and focus here, very harmonious with a gently build in the mouth towards a satisfying marmalade and quince-driven finish. This is a finely crafted Guiraud that will be a class act. 

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Already beautifully balanced, this wine is intense, rich and full of layered acidity and concentrated honey flavors. It's ripe, opulent and dense, with spice notes and acidity highlighting its rich core. Drink from 2024.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Not shy, with unctuous dried apricot, peach and tangerine fruit flavors, augmented with ginger, bitter orange and bitter almond notes that add tension. Expressive, with a floral twinge on the finish imparting lift. Best from 2020 through 2040.

93 Points - Decanter

Tropical and orchard fruit are lifted by spicy botrytis notes, crystallized ginger and lemon verbena. Balanced and refined, yet bigger than usual but remarkably fresh thanks to vibrant acidity.
