2017 G Chateau Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc

The only make 150,000 bottles, this is 105 hectare estate and they are in the city between the Church and Chateau D'Yquem, this was the first growth to be classified and this means that the wine is from the region and it must be sweet and the appellation here is Bordeaux dry white wine because of the dryness and they do not have the Moilleux level but there is a minimum level of sweetness to a Sauternes 120 grams per liter.A blend of 50/50 Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc they have specific parcels in the vineyard that are dedicated to making this dry wine.  Bright ripe melon, peach and pink grapefruit citrus fruit on the nose with notes of mineral and white flowers.   A rich but savory character to the palate with a good amount of peach and quince fruit along with a gravelly mineral nuance, a fresh lively finish with that mineral character giving length and distinction.  A great introduction to the dry whites of Sauternes! Finish 40+ Excellent
