Reviewed March 2017This is a live-wire version, with thyme and verbena notes leading off, followed by pure lemon zest and white peach accents. An herbal edge adds cut through the finish even as the fruit fans out a bit. (JM)

The G de Guiraud 2014 has quite a complex bouquet with lively citrus fruit intermixed with sea cave scents. There is something almost marine-like here. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, appreciable weight in the mouth with light green apple and spice notes emerging toward the finish. This is how to do dry white Sauternes. (NM)

Plenty of stone and dried-lemon aromas follow through to a full body and a very dry palate of bitter lemons and cooked apples.

*Good Value* Sappy herbal notes, very creamy sweet oak. Bold, spicy, juicy and sleek. (RH)

The Guiraud "G" is a wine for a few more years in the cellars. It has a seriousness about it that goes beyond the delicious citrusy and peaches notes. Perhaps it is due to the lees stirring and barrel aging. It has the richness of a wine made with very ripe grapes, but is it never heavy, and it's completely dry.
