Tasting Notes

93
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14 Aug 23
Medium straw-gold in color, the 2013 Guiraud gives up very honeyed, nutty, savory aromas. It is rich and nutty on the palate, leading to a spicy finish with just enough freshness.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2040

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Apr 14
The 2013 Guiraud has a generous bouquet of rich honeyed fruit interlaced with quince and hints of marmalade, though I would like to see more mineralite and tension by the time of bottling. The palate is well-balanced with a spice-tinged entry, touches of Seville orange and mandarin emerging with time. There is good depth here, fine density with plenty of sinew toward the saline-tinged finish.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Aug 23
The 2013 Guiraud offers caramelized pear, peach and tinned pineapple on the nose, nicely focused with a floral element emerging with time. The palate is balanced with a tang of marmalade and candied orange peel. There is plenty of attack here, though compared to other Sauternes in this vintage, it is just missing some length on the aftertaste.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2035

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 16 Jan 18
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. (JH)

Sauternes Fine Wine

Sauternes

Sauternes, a renowned Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is famous for its luxurious sweet white wines made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This fungus concentrates sugars, creating wines with rich sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Sauternes wines feature complex aromas and flavours of apricot, honey, peach, citrus, and vanilla, with excellent ageing potential. Top producers include Château d'Yquem, Château Rieussec, Château Suduiraut, and Château Coutet.
