G de Guiraud is a dry white wine made from grapes that come from the own vineyards of the famous Sauternes sweet wine producer Château Guiraud. If the grapes do not reach optimum botrytis (mould), then it is usual to produce a dry white wine, which is of excellent quality thanks to the optimum ripeness of the grapes. The 2012 G de Guiraud offers a fresh and lively style, aromas of pineapple, peach, pear and muscat blossom and a perfectly ripe fruit flavour, with the great Sauvignon Blanc variety as the main flavour carrier.
G de Guiraud is an ideal wine not only for gastronomy, it is especially excellent with seafood, but also for drinking on its own.

Château Guiraud
Château Guiraud is located in the Sauternes appellation. The wine from Château was classified as Premier Cru in the Bordeaux classification of 1855. Today, this winery is the only Premier Cru Classé certified as an organic winery.
The vineyard covers approximately 85 hectares and is planted with the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc varieties. The soil is sandy-gravelly and clayey, which, due to its moisture-retaining properties, contributes to the spread of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot).
