Château Guiraud Sauternes 1er Cru Classé 2010

After 3 years of relatively cold temperatures, the heat finally arrived in 2019! From springtime onwards, we had a beautiful run of weather, with higher than average temperatures allowing the vines to blossom week early. Temperatures in June and July peaked at over 40°C, meaning that grapes could ripen early.Slightly cooler weather and sporadic rain provided the perfect conditions forliquid gold . Our organic methods allowed us to begin harvesting botrytis-affected grapes from the 7th September! Wind, humidity provided by the Ciron, and afternoon heat… a perfect cocktail for optimal, even concentration. In 1 month, the harvest was done. Everything went perfectly smoothly. This vintage is one for the history books. 65% sémillon, 35% Sauvignon.
