Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions

94-95 JS / 93-95 WI / 94 JA / 92-94 VM

A refined and pretty Sauternes with crushed apple, spice and dried pear character. Medium body with a fresh spice and intense finish at the end. - James Suckling

The 2022 Guiraud, 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc with 134 g/L residual sugar, is pale to medium straw in color. It tumbles from the glass with beautifully expressive scents of key lime pie, passion fruit, and fresh white peaches, followed by suggestions of candle wax, acacia honey, allspice, and saffron. The palate is concentrated and bold, with bombastic citrus and tropical fruit layers and plenty of freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick.--Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

An unusually high percentage of Sémillon in the blend for Guiraud, a reflection of the unusual conditions of the vintage. You can see it in the concentrated amber colour, but on the palate this is well handled with bitter marmalade, saffron and truffle, and juicy lemon that gives contrast and grip. Harvest September 15 to October 27th, across three pickings. 134h/g residual sugar, 4ph. Certified organic. First vintage with Sandrine Garbay as estate director, moving over here from Château d'Yquem. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Giraud is very beautiful. In this vintage, Giraud is not quite as rich as it can be, and yet it still offers notable depth and nuance. Spice, ginger, orange confit and apricot jam open nicely in a midweight Giraud that shows terrific energy. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
