Château Guiraud是波爾多Sauternes產區的頂級酒莊,其莊園有數百年歷史;1766年一個酒商Guiraud家族買下這個莊園,並且在這個家族手上將本酒莊經營得非常出色,在1855年頂級酒莊分級中,本酒莊被列為一級酒莊。
Guiraud現有128公頃的土地,其中的100公頃是葡萄園,土壤是砂質、礫石、黏土和石灰石的混合。本酒莊種植的葡萄品種為65% Semillon和35% Sauvignon Blanc,平均樹齡40歲;這麼高的Sauvignon Blanc種植比例是Sauternes產區裡的異數。本酒莊的葡萄園從1996年就開始實施有機農法,並且在2010年獲得認證。
Tasted as part of a vertical held at the chateau. It is clear that the aromatics on the 2008 are a little simpler and more straightforward than the 2007 with honeysuckle, jasmine and mango scents emerging with time. The palate is ripe and precise on the entry with well-integrated oak that is in sync with the lemon curd and apricot fruit. There is a lovely sweetness on the finish with a hint of spice lingering in the mouth. As I wrote last year – sublime.
