G de Guiraud (BIO-ORGANIC) - Bordeaux 2024

G de Guiraud (BIO-ORGANIC) - Bordeaux 2024

Gateway to Cha^teau Guiraud, G de Cha^teau Guiraud is a dry white wine made from grapes harvested at their optimum maturity on a dedicated plot selection. It is aged for 6 months on lees, half in stainless steel vats and half in barrels previously used for one wine, the Sauternes classified 1st Growth in 1855. The blend of 60% Sémillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc, as well as a malolactic fermentation carried out on a few batches, gives it its uniqueness.

Fresh whilst very aromatically expressive, G de Cha^teau Guiraud can be appreciated from its youngest age, adapting itself very easily to any momen and to any kind of cuisine.


The 2024 vintage

A vintage defined by significant climatic variability, requiring constant vigilance and meticulous work in the vineyard. The year 2024 began under favourable conditions, but evolving weather patterns presented a number of challenges. Periods of regular rainfall, combined with generally aboveaverage temperatures, stimulated vigorous vine growth and increased disease pressure. Fortunately, a summer of alternating dry and sunny periods restored the balance for the vines to grow.
The manual harvest took place between 2 and 24 September in record time due to intense rains early in the month, which accelerated the development of noble rot on the healthy grapes. These weather conditions did not in fact affect quality. On the contrary, 2024 can now be described as an exceptional vintage for white wines!

"On the palate, the vintage’s acidity enhances a refined, elegant, and meticulously balanced character. The attack is lively and vibrant, but the wine gains in volume as it evolves, culminating in a mouthwatering, saline finish. This 2024 vintage of G de Château GUIRAUD offers a slightly different expression to recent vintages, while remaining true to its identity: a well-balanced wine which harmoniously combines the freshness of the Sauvignon with the roundness of the Sémillon."
