2020 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
Roasted nuts, pears, pineapple, white peach, mango and honeysuckle make a gorgeous perfume. On the palate the wine shines with its perfect balance between all the decadently sweet pineapples and candied apricots coated with honey, and ample refreshing acidity keeping everything balanced between sweet and fresh. 93-95 Pts 2,811 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |

2019 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
White peach, flowers, roasted pears, grilled nuts, orange tropical fruits, candied apricot and honey nuts are all over the place here.

Drink from 2023-2045. 1,191 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022White peach, yellow tropical fruits, candied orange rind and honeysuckle make their presence known on the nose and palate.

2019 | Château Guiraud 'G' Sec (Bordeaux) | |
Combining bright grapefruit and orange peel with hints of vanilla bean in the nose, the wine is fresh, lifted, oily and long on the palate, with a generous serving of more of that orange peel and pomelo in the finish. 4,346 Views Tasted Jun 8, 2020 |

2017 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
Fresh, sweet, honeyed, and floral, the wine serves up a nice blend of brown sugar, mangoes, orange peel, vanilla and caramel. Rich as well as peppy, so everything holds together and ages perfectly. 3,590 Views Tasted May 17, 2020Pineapple, mango, white peach and candied orange rind are blended together and topped with vanilla bean and honey to make this a confectionary extravagance. But like all the great sweet wines, it's the harmonizing acidity that's needed to bring freshness 2,049 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |

2011 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
Filled with spicy, candied orange, nuts, honey, pineapple, apricot and vanilla, the wine lacks a bit of the intensity found in the top wines of the vintage. Yet, it still delivers a tasty, sweet, tropical, orange, honeyed finish with good freshness. 3,476 Views Tasted Feb 12, 2014 |

2010 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
I know it's young, but I really enjoy the freshness and super sweetness found in young Sauternes. More on the orange, tangerine and apricot side of the style range, instead of tropical fruits, there is enough honeyed sweetness, acidity and vanilla notes, along with good concentration of flavor to keep you busy. 3,704 Views Tasted Aug 26, 2015 |

2008 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
Medium/full bodied, lacking the same level of depth and concentration found in 2007 or 2009. However, there is a lot to like about the wine with its vanilla, apricot, orange marmelade, honeysuckle and pineapple filled personality. Sweet, soft, luscious and forward, this is already delivering pleasure. 4,825 Views Tasted Dec 13, 2013 |

On the orange side of the style range, with plenty of honeyed, tangerine, apricot, nectarine, pineapple and honeysuckle. Medium/full bodied, with freshness and lift, but lacking more of the yellow fruit I find in the best years. 3,720 Views Tasted Jan 3, 2017 |

1990 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
At the end of its best days, or perhaps slightly past that point, the wine shows more caramel, butterscotch, orange and burn toffee notes than, sweet, yellow, honeyed fruit. On the bright orange side in the finish, if you are sitting on bottles, I'd drink them up, before more of the sweet fruit slowly fades away. 5,331 Views Tasted Jul 15, 2016 |

1937 | Château Guiraud (Sauternes) | |
Dark, molasses in color, this is all about the secondary notes of caramel, butterscotch, brown sugar, creme brulee and honeyed, vanilla and orange peel. You definitely note the age, but in a good way as there is still some sweetness and honeyed fruits, along with acidity to keep this interesting. 1,348 Views Tasted Apr 22, 2017 |
