Other Reviews....
The 2024 Guiraud is a bold, luscious Sauternes. Apricot jam, chamomile, passion fruit, spice and burnt sugar convey notable intensity to match the wine's creamy, ample feel. Guiraud is a rich, heady Sauternes, but all the elements are impeccably balanced. Drink 2029-2044.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

This shows good concentration and sweetness with a light saline character to the dried pineapple, mangoes, honey and spices. Medium to full body with medium acidity and a long, round finish.

James Suckling

Silky smooth on the palate, not as much fruit or acidity intensity as I was expecting, this is still a little compact and closed with a quiet aromatic expression. Opens up a little after a few minutes with orange zest, peach blossom, pear and quince alongside some toasted caramel and vanilla touches. Good quality but needs a bit more time to fully open. Drink 2027 - 2039.

Dark burnt orange gold, spiralling white flower aromatics, this is great quality, thoroughly enjoyable, subtle spiced cumin and tumeric, sweetly succulent apricot and nectarine juice without being heavy. 12.6 hl/ha yield, Sandrine Garbay estate director.
