Chateau Guiraud - Sauternes - 1er Cru
France
Chateau Guiraud is a Premier Cru Sauternes that is a blend of Semillon (65%) and Sauvignon blanc (35%). Sauternes, made from vines that are subjected to botrytis or "noble rot", are picked when the sugar levels of the grapes reach at least 20 grams per liter of juice. The process of picking and making wines from botrytis grapes is so delicate that some years a whole crop can be thrown away if standards of the winemaker are not met. The 1989 Chateau Guiraud is a perfect dessert wine from a world class vineyard. Notes of melon and citrus fruit dominate this after dinner delight! (Subject to Availability) GUIR89 GUIR89
