"G" Du Chateau Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc Sec 2023 (750ml)

Country/ Region:
France, Bordeaux, Sauternes

Background:
"G" de Château Guiraud 2023 is a premium dry white wine (Bordeaux Blanc Sec) from the esteemed 1855 Sauternes First Growth estate, Château Guiraud. It is crafted from certified organic Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offering a crisp, aromatic profile with citrus and stony notes, typically aged in oak barrels that previously held the Sauternes.

Winemaking:
Grapes are harvested at high maturity, often using manual sorting to ensure quality. The wine is fermented and aged for approximately 7 months in barrels that previously held the sweet Sauternes Grand Vin of Chateau Guiraud, adding richness, texture, and a "gourmet" quality to the dry white. The wine is stirred on its lees, contributing to its dense, complex, and waxy texture.

Grapes: A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon

Tasting note:
The 2023 vintage is described as a lively, bright, and, in many cases, a "classy, complex" wine, offering a rich, textured, and aromatic profile with notes of citrus and peach.

Food Pairing:
It is a dry blend of (Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon) white wine which is best paired with fresh seafood, shellfish, roasted poultry, and creamy vegetable dishes.
