This is the dry white wine of the First Growth Sauternes house Chateau Guiraud. Made from a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc & 30% Semillon. The wine is barrel matured for 6-9 months with regular stirring of the lees which adds weight and texture to the blend, and provides additional complexity to the flavour profile.

Bright straw colour with pale straw hue. The nose displays typical graves like nose, with grassy top note followed by a confectionary and herbaceous end note. On the palate the flavours are pronounced, with citrus and confectionary dominant over a grassy, herbaceous back palate. The palate has good weight and mouthfeel, reflecting a strong flavour profile. Clean acid finish. Flinty, lemon confectionary aftertaste.
