Experience the 2017 Chateau Guiraud in a convenient half-bottle (375ml), a precise introduction to this Sauternes classic. Crafted in the 2017 vintage, this wine delivers the hallmark sweetness and botrytized elegance Guiraud is known for, balanced by a brisk acidity that keeps it vibrant on the palate. The half-bottle format is ideal for intimate dinners, tasting moments, or gifting, letting you savor the wine without opening a full bottle.

Tasting notes

  • Nose: bright tropical fruit, honeyed apricot, orange blossom, and a subtle spice hint.
  • Palate: lush and expressive, with flavors of candied peach, ripe pear, citrus marmalade, and almond paste; a touch of honey and stone fruit linger.
  • Finish: long and elegant, with a balancing acidity that lifts the sweetness and invites the next sip.

Food pairings

  • Foie gras preparations (terrine or seared) to contrast richness with sweetness
  • Blue cheeses such as Roquefort or aged Gouda
  • Fruit-focused desserts, almond pastries, and tarts (apricot, peach, or pear)

94 Points
"The 2017 Guiraud opens with subtle notions of crushed rocks, wild fungi and fragrant earth leading to a profound core of orange marmalade, crystalized lemon peel, dried pineapple and paraffin wax. The rich, opulent, wonderfully exotic palate delivers soft acidity and loads of spicy sparks, finishing with great length and depth."
