WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 WINES

 From the Wine Spectator (they obviously do not know the plural of  
château):

#4
Château Guiraud Sauternes 2005
97 points 9,165 cases made
Bordeaux’s sweet wines shared the limelight in the region’s legendary  
2005 vintage.  Many châteaus, like Guiraud, long under the direction  
of Xavier Planty, produced their best wine ever.  During the harvest,  
grape pickers passed painstakingly through the estate’s 210 acres of  
35-year-old Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, selecting only  
grapes affected by botrytis.  By harvest’s end, each acre yielded  
only enough grapes for 54 cases of wine, with about 20 percent of  
that set aside for the estate’s second label.

We have a limited quantity of this wine.

$55.00/375ml

Cheers,
