Chateau Guiraud Petit Guiraud Sauternes 2013
With a significant proportion of sauvignon (35%), just as its elder brother, Petit Guiraud stands out by its delicacy and its airy sugar content. From the scent to the taste, Petit Guiraud immediately succeeds in seducing us by the freshness of its fruit: grapefruit, passion fruit, pineapple... Thanks to a very rigorous plot selection, Petit Guiraud expresses somethingdifferent of the Château Guiraud’s terroir. The wine is floral and feminine, very tasty and light!
