Guiraud (BIO-ORGANIC) - Sauternes 2019

Vinous

94 / 100

The 2019 Guiraud is a very pretty, understated wine. In 2019, this Sauternes has a feeling of transparency that is utterly beguiling. Citrus, ginger, spice, mint and dried flowers open nicely. There is a bit of tightness on the finish, so I would cellar the 2019 for at least a few years.

The 2019 Guiraud did not really make an impression from barrel. Re-tasted in bottle, it has a simple but flattering bouquet of lemon curd, white chocolate, saffron and touches of orange blossom; not complex, yet you cannot deny its purity. The palate is balanced with fine depth, though missing just a little complexity and tension. Very harmonious on the finish, but it lacks weight and density. Guiraud can make some of the best Sauternes, but not in this particular year.

Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2019 Guiraud springs from the glass with vivacious scents of lemon marmalade, orange blossoms, pink grapefruit and fresh pineapple with hints of candied ginger and musk perfume plus a waft of beeswax. The palate delivers concentrated citrus and dried pineapple flavors with apricot and spicy sparks, lifted by a lively line of freshness, finishing satisfyingly sweet and perfumed.

White peach, yellow tropical fruits, candied orange rind and honeysuckle make their presence known on the nose and palate. The wine is fresh, lively and comes with a bit of spice with honeyed fruit and vanilla in the finish. 92-94 Pts

There's purity and brightness to this with dried-peach, lemon and apple character and a fine line of acidity running through the center palate. Spicy finish. Balanced and bright.
