This "First Growth" Sauternes is owned by our friend Xavier Planty who has been at Guiraud nearly 30 years and just recently became owner after being winemaker and Director. This 2010 is another great Guiraud, fat and rich and quite sweet. Has the classic spiciness of Guiraud. Despite the high level of sweetness, it's fairly light on its feet.

Suduiraut has been on a major roll as of late and this is another fantastic effort. Very rich and sweet, but extremely elegant and fresh. Notes of candied passion fruit flow through to a super long finish.

Bill Blatch introduced us to this property last year and it was one of our most popular 2009 Sauternes. The 2010 is a worthy successor. There's a good amount of sweetness but it's not at all heavy. Very fresh, very well-balanced, very nice!
