Lovely sweaty nose, herbal anise and wild flowers. Leesy, creamy texture as well as zesty acidity. Fresh and vibrant with structure and poise. Well made with a rounded mouthfeel that still maintains its freshness. Drinking range: 2019 - 2024 Rating: 16 Alistair Cooper MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2019)

Smoky dramatic and full on the nose. Quite exciting and tense but you need to have bought in to the style of smoky dry white bordeaux. Rich sensation of lily-like aromas. Drinking range: 2018 - 2020 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 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.
