Description
A sweet, botrytized white passito from the prestigious Sauternes region of Bordeaux, 13.5% ABV, produced by Chateau Guiraud. Blend: 35% Sauvignon. 0.75L bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine that embodies the excellence of Sauternes, classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, and distinguished by its organic production since 1995. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, with multiple passes through the vineyard, selecting only berries affected by botrytis. Fermentation takes place in new oak barrels for three weeks to two months. Aged in barrels, on the lees, for 18 to 24 months depending on the vintage. The nose reveals the typical aromas of noble rot, with notes of lemon and baked apple tart, vanilla, and tropical fruit. On the palate, it is intense with a honeyed aftertaste, long with a lovely spicy finish. A perfect wine to pair with blue cheeses, foie gras or fruit-based desserts.
