Dark burnt orange gold, spiralling white flower aromatics, this is great quality, thoroughly enjoyable, subtle spiced cumin and tumeric, sweetly succulent apricot and nectarine juice without being heavy. 12.6 hl/ha yield, Sandrine Garbay estate director. 94 points

The 2024 Guiraud is a bold, luscious Sauternes. Apricot jam, chamomile, passion fruit, spice and burnt sugar convey notable intensity to match the wine`s creamy, ample feel. Guiraud is a rich, heady Sauternes, but all the elements are impeccably balanced. 94-96 points

The 2024 Guiraud, now under the aegis of winemaker Sandrine Garbay, contains 124 g/L of residual sugar and was picked from September 20 with four tries through the vines. It has a very assured and detailed bouquet with wild honey, peach and light apricot scents, with a touch of vanilla pod tucked underneath. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a keen line of acidity, gaining weight as it moves toward the clementine-tinged finish. What a gorgeous Guiraud! 94-96 points
