The Château Guiraud Premier Cru 2001 is a magnificent Sauternes crafted from botrytized Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This 2001 vintage displays a deep amber hue and a complex nose of honey, candied orange, dried fig, and exotic spices, with hints of toffee and minerality. On the palate, it is opulent and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of mango, pineapple, and botrytis-driven complexity. The finish is long and harmonious, with a refined mineral streak. Biodynamically produced, this wine reflects Guiraud’s commitment to quality and sustainability. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, foie gras, or blue cheeses, it offers a luxurious experience. With over two decades of aging, it is at its peak but can evolve further, making it a collector’s gem.
