The 2023 Château Guiraud Petit Guiraud Sauternes Half Bottle (375ml) is a beautifully balanced sweet Bordeaux and the elegant second wine of the famed Premier Cru Classé Château Guiraud. Crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot, it reveals aromas of apricot, honey, candied citrus and white peach layered with hints of ginger, almond cream and floral spice.
On the palate is luscious yet fresh, with vibrant acidity balancing the rich sweetness and delivering a smooth, polished finish. The 375ml format makes it perfect for dessert pairings or special occasions without opening a full bottle.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to premium Sauternes for customers who enjoy elegant dessert wines with freshness and complexity rather than heavy sweetness. Perfect with foie gras, fruit desserts, blue cheese or enjoyed on its own lightly chilled. Drink now or cellar over the next 10–15 years.
