The 2022 Château Guiraud Sauternes Half Bottle (375ml) is an outstanding expression of this prestigious estate, combining richness, precision and freshness in a perfectly sized format. Produced from a classic blend of around 65% Sémillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc, and crafted from hand-selected botrytised grapes, it reflects both the estate’s organic philosophy and the exceptional quality of the 2022 vintage.
The nose is intense and expressive, revealing layers of candied orange, peach and pineapple, alongside white flowers, honey and subtle minty freshness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luscious with a creamy, opulent texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of tropical fruit, citrus confit and gentle spice unfold with clarity, supported by a precise structure that gives both richness and lift. The finish is long, elegant and harmonious, with a fresh, slightly spicy and mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout modern Sauternes vintages and a fantastic option in half bottle for premium indulgence. Ideal for customers who enjoy rich dessert wines with freshness and balance.
