97 Pts Wine Spectator |
Wine Spectator #4 Wine of the Year for 2008 "Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. Full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. Hard not to drink it now. Best after 2014. 8,000 cases made. -JS" |
97 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com |
"This appears to be the synthesis of the fabulous 2001 and 2003. It shows wonderful aromas of botrytis spice, honey and citrus rind. Lots of fruit with a tropical fruit undertone of mango and papaya on the palate. Intense finish. Too excellent not to drink." (07/13) |
95 Pts Wine Enthusiast |
"Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the richest Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches give the wine extra complexity. -RV" (06/08) |
93 Pts Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"Tasted as part of a vertical held at the chateau. The 2005 Guiraud has a slightly more reduced bouquet compared to the 2004, with dried honey, marmalade and just a hint of petrol emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, crisp acidity, touches of beeswax and almond defining the harmonious waxy textured finish. This needs another two or three years in the cellar, but it should evolve into a delectable Sauternes. Drink 2016 - 2030. Tasted April 2013." (06/13) |
Description:
This is too good to pass up! Most stores sell the half bottles for this price!
Chateau Guiraud is a name that many of you already know all to well. One of the closest neighbors of Chateau Yquem, on top of the hill in Sauternes, it benefits from one of the best terroirs of Sauternes. Chateau Guiraud was the first classified growth in Bordeaux who was certified organic (starting vintage 2011). This Sauturnes scored 97 Points from the Wine Spectator and was the #4 Wine of the Year in 2008.
Yes that's right, 97 Points ... and the #4 Wine of the Year from the Wine Spectator in 2008. We love to make a splash, and this is kind of wine that will have people buzzing for weeks! Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to take home an iconic Sauturnes at a tremendous price!
Whatever you are thinking of buying today, double it. You'll thank us later!
Wine:
"The first growth is produced from a 85ha of Sauternes appellation vines.
Only Semillon (65%) and Sauvignon (35%) are planted at Guiraud with a pruning "a cots" or "in fan" for the Semillons and long branches for the Sauvignons.
Harvest is only done hand picking by successive waves through the vineyard (2 to 7 selections), picking only the botrytised berries. A minimum of potential alcohol must be reached before starting the harvest.
The fermentation is made in new oak barrels over a period of three weeks to two months. Different batches are fermentated until they reach their own equilibrium which depends upon their selection.
The aging in barrels lasts 24 months." - Winery
History:
"The " Noble House of Bayle " used to be estate's name when it belonged to the Mons Saint-Poly family. A notarial deed dated 22 February 1766 reveals that Pierre Guiraud, a Bordeaux merchant of Protestant faith, bought it for 53,000 livres.
On his death in 1799 his son Louis succeeded him. It was under Louis Guiraud that the estate was saved from a severe devaluation which had begun in 1793, becoming a famous chateau well known for its wine.
On his death in 1837, his son Pierre-Aman inherited a well-established property, with a value estimated at 250,00 livres.
Within 80 years and three generations, various families succeeded each other as owners of the estate. The legend was born in1855 when Chateau Guiraud became a Premier Grand Cru de Sauternes." - Winery
