CHÂTEAU GUIRAUD 2013

Wine 2013 1er Cru Classé Bordeaux Sauternes

Tasting notes : With a particularly promising start to the harvest, the 3rd vintage certified in Organic Agriculture of Château Guiraud came very close to an exceptional vintage. With ideal climatic conditions and a phenomenon of botrytization and intense and rapid concentration, 2013 is comparable in several points to 2001. We find practically the same structure – great aromatic complexity and great purity – but with slightly less concentration, 2013 is certainly a great vintage!

Grape variety / Blend : Semillon (~65%), Sauvignon (~35%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Ageing : woody

Maturity : 2018 - 2035

Food and Wine Pairing : Blue cheeses

Wine Spectator March - 2016
Wine Spectator
This gorgeous Sauternes is still really tight, with racy floral and green plum edges along the core flavours of white peach, mirabelle plum, melon and green fig, but there's stunning length, with a rapier of minerality that matches the sweetness step for step on the long, quinine-infused finish. Built for the long haul.

Gloriously intense with rich apricot and almond paste. Really almondy. Thickly viscous and super-intense, mouth-filling richness and a long almost bitter almondy aftertaste. Tight and bright but not quite as long as the 2014 and not as fresh.

Wonderful lifted flavours with dried jasmine flower and sweet spicy notes and focused purity. Lovely balanced sweetness, lean body and great precision in this vintage. A finely textured sweet wine with great focus; since their biodynamic conversion, Guiraud wines have a silkier texture with nuanced details. A long finish.

Rich and dense, well-integrated with refreshing citrus notes and a pleasant bitter component in the long finish.

Medium yellow, silvery reflections. Cloves, delicate yellow tropical fruit, grapefruit zest, a hint of botrytis spice. Substantial, white fruit, lively and fresh, integrated acidity, lemony nuances, very invigorating style, good length, has ageing potential.

Château Guiraud

Château Guiraud is a 128-hectare wine estate located in Sauternes in the Gironde region. In the Sauternes AOC, it is classified as a Premier Cru Classé in the official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification. Château Guiraud produces an average of 100,000 bottles per year, although in some years due to weather conditions, the first growth is not sold.

The estate also produces a second wine, Le Dauphin de Guiraud, made from young vines and a selection made during blending, as well as a dry white wine called G de Château Guiraud. Only Semillon (65%) and Sauvignon (35%) grape varieties are grown at Guiraud, with spur pruning for Semillon and cane pruning for Sauvignon.

The Château Guiraud harvest is exclusively manual and carried out through successive pickings (2 to 6 pickings) of botrytized grapes. A minimum potential alcohol content of 20° is required to begin the harvest. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in new oak barrels, renewed by thirds, for a period ranging from three weeks to two months. The different batches are fermented until reaching their own balance according to their selection.
