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,
