The 2022 Château Guiraud Sauternes is a beautifully balanced sweet wine from one of the leading estates in Bordeaux’s Sauternes region. Benefiting from favourable conditions for noble rot, this vintage delivers both richness and freshness, highlighting the estate’s reputation for producing refined, age-worthy dessert wines.
The nose is expressive and fragrant, offering aromas of apricot, peach, candied citrus and acacia honey, complemented by notes of orange blossom and subtle spice. On the palate, it is luscious yet vibrant, with layers of stone fruit, marmalade and honey balanced by bright acidity and a silky texture. The finish is long, fresh and elegantly structured.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for those seeking a classic Sauternes with excellent balance and purity. Enjoy with foie gras, blue cheese, lemon tart or fruit-based desserts. Delicious in its youth, it also has the structure and concentration to develop additional complexity over the next 10–15 years.
