critic reviews
The 2024 Guiraud is pale lemon-straw in color. It races out with notes of ginger tea, orange blossoms, and baked pineapple, giving way to hints of preserved lemons and lime cordial. The palate is citrusy and rich with spicy notes and a long lively finish.
The 2024 Guiraud, now under the aegis of winemaker Sandrine Garbay, contains 124 g/L of residual sugar and was picked from September 20 with four <em>tries</em> through the vines. It has a very assured and detailed bouquet with wild honey, peach and light apricot scents, with a touch of vanilla pod tucked underneath. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a keen line of acidity, gaining weight as it moves toward the clementine-tinged finish. What a gorgeous Guiraud!
Dark burnt orange gold, spiralling white flower aromatics, this is great quality, thoroughly enjoyable, subtle spiced cumin and tumeric, sweetly succulent apricot and nectarine juice without being heavy. 12.6 hl/ha yield, Sandrine Garbay estate director.
