The 2015 Château Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classé (1855) Sauternes Half Bottle (375ml) is an exceptional vintage from one of Sauternes’ leading estates, offering richness, precision and remarkable balance in a perfectly sized format. Crafted from a Sémillon-dominant blend with Sauvignon Blanc, it reflects ideal botrytis conditions, producing a wine of great concentration and aromatic intensity.
The nose is vibrant and complex, revealing layers of apricot, peach and pineapple, alongside honey, orange blossom and candied citrus peel, with subtle hints of spice and toasted almond. On the palate, it is rich and silky yet beautifully fresh, with flavours of tropical fruit, marmalade and honey balanced by lively acidity. The finish is long, elegant and precise, with a clean, mineral lift that enhances its finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value Premier Cru Classé Sauternes in half bottle, perfect for premium indulgence without committing to a full size. Ideal for those who enjoy rich dessert wines with freshness and balance. Drink now or cellar for 20+ years. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheese or fruit-based desserts.
