65% Sémillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Mid greenish gold. Slightly sugary on the nose. Quite light and fresh. Is this the new aperitif style of Sauternes? (JR)

Tasted blind. Bright gold colour. Slightly chemical but still enticing nose of saffron and marmalade. Fully ripe and powerful core of fruit here. Noticeably smoky oak builds through the palate, leaving a note of charred wood together with the generous fruit. Will need time to settle as it is marked by oak on nose and palate. (TP)

The 2017 Guiraud is brimming with pineapple, passion fruit, spice and vanillin. Rich, structured and racy, it shows tremendous character as well as personality. Readers should expect a bold, extroverted Sauternes. I loved it.
