In the mouth
Unctuous and mineral in balance. The palate shows concentrated sweetness with bright acidity that prevents cloying. A long, refined finish with lingering honey and spice.
On the nose
Intense stone fruit and honey aromatics, with subtle notes of dried apricot and candied citrus peel. A whisper of vanilla from careful élevage.
On the eye
Deep golden yellow with amber highlights, characteristic of properly aged Sauternes.
Breeding
Aged for approximately 18 months in new oak barrels at 90% with 10% from first-use casks.
This is a Sauternes of genuine distinction. I recommend it as an apéritif in its own right, or alongside oysters where its mineral edge complements the brine beautifully. It will also surprise with aged goat's cheese—the complexity holds its own. Drink now or cellar with confidence.

CHATEAU GUIRAUD
Château Guiraud spans 128 hectares in Sauternes (Gironde), ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé 1855 and farmed entirely under organic certification on sandy and clay gravels rising to 72 metres altitude. Founded in 1766 as the Maison Noble du Bayle, the château was acquired in 2006 by a four-strong partnership — Matthieu Gufflet, Robert Peugeot, Olivier Bernard and Stephan Von Neipperg — who drove the estate to full organic certification in 2011, a first for any Premier Grand Cru in Sauternes. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its organic commitment, yields of under 10 hl/ha, and the precision of its Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc assemblage. A benchmark Sauternes, faithful to its terroir and its classification.
SAUTERNES PREMIER CRU
Château Guiraud incarne l\'excellence des Sauternes depuis 1855. Ce 2022 blanc moelleux, premier domaine certifié bio en 1855, révèle une robe jaune dorée et un fruité intense. Élevé 18 mois en barriques neuves, il séduira en apéritif comme à table, particulièrement avec les huîtres ou un fromage affiné.
