Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classe 2009

98
/100

En gigantisk, sandelig aristokratisk Sauternes på sit absolutte højdepunkt! Sikke en betagende bouquet: Uendeligt fyldig, ædel botrytis, flydende skovhonning, kandiserede appelsiner og delikate nødder. På ganen en ren og skær kraft, monumental styrke, overdådig fylde og højkoncentreret frugtsødme. Men det geniale ved denne 2009’er er, at den trods al sin kraft og viskositet fremstår fantastisk struktureret og forbløffende frisk takket være en knivskarp, racemæssig syre. En viskøs eliksir-drøm med en eftersmag, der varer i flere minutter.

Tim Atkin om: Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classe

13.9% alcohol. 65S, 35SB The freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc is what makes this wine so bright and harmonious. Overall, the blend is waxy, toasty and stylish, with oak, vanilla spice and honeysuckle and grapefruit characters combining stylishly on the palate. Not far behind Yquem in 2009, and that is high praise indeed. Long, elegant and refreshing. Residual sugar 139 grams per litre. 10+ years.

Galloni om: Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classe

The 2009 Guiraud is one of the gems of Sauternes this vintage, one of the finest offerings in recent years. It has a wonderful, beautifully delineated bouquet with expressive scents of wild honey, orange pith, Seville orange marmalade and just a hint of pineapple. The palate is beautifully defined with pure botrytised fruit, supremely well balanced with a vivacious, ginger and white pepper tinged finish that lingers long in the mouth. Outstanding. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Drink 2019-2055

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classe

This is a bird of a different feather, with an exotic, vibrant aroma of toasted coconut, followed by an almond cream note that gives way to the core of green fig, papaya, Cavaillon melon and honey. There's stunning richness and mouthfeel, with the power to be one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage. Very impressive. Best from 2015 through 2040. 11,000 cases made.

Jancis Robinson om: Chateau Guiraud 1er Grand Cru Classe

Interesting nose with a bit of an edge - really appetising as well as very sweet. I failed to spit this one - always a good sign. Very long and a good combination of structure, acidity and very ripe fruit. Tightly laced even if not the sweetest. Interesting smokiness on the nose. Drink 2018-2035
