G CHATEAU GUIRAUD, Bordeaux Blanc, 2012 - (EQW)

Bordeaux, France

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc 50% and Semillon 50%.

This is a 2012 vintage, so expect a more developed profile with nutty and creamy tones, softer acidity, which allows for it to pair well with chicken, duck, roasted meat, and cheese with nuts.

If you are looking for a matured white wine, this is a great opportunity to try from a great Chateau in Bordeaux.

G de Chateau Guiraud is the dry white wine made by the famous Château Guiraud, a 1er Grand Cru Classé (1855) estate in Sauternes.

G de Château Guiraud was first launched in the early 2000s to express the estate’s terroir in a dry white wine, diverging from its traditional sweet Sauternes production.

Unlike most dry Bordeaux blancs that come from Pessac-Léognan or Entre-Deux-Mers, this wine is grown on the unique gravel-clay soils of Sauternes, often using vines that could otherwise produce sweet wine.

Usually 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Sémillon, fermented and aged partially in barrels (often 10–20% new oak), giving the wine a creamy texture, richness, and complexity that distinguishes it from leaner Bordeaux Blancs.
