The 2020 vintage shows all the hallmarks of top Guiraud: luscious layers of apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed tropical fruit, lifted by ginger spice and a streak of freshness that keeps everything poised. Rich and opulent, yet beautifully balanced, it’s a classic Sauternes that will reward both patience and indulgence. Founded in 1766, Château Guiraud has always gone its own way, proudly displaying its black label and earning Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Today it’s one of Sauternes’ great names, known for combining tradition with innovation.
