Bordeauxrsquo;s sweet wines shared the limelight in the regionrsquo;s legendary 2005 vintage. many chacirc;teaus, like Guiraud, long under the direction of Xavier Planty, produced their best wine ever. During the harvest, grape pickers passed painstakingly through the estatersquo;s 210 acres of 35-year-old Seacute;millon and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, selecting only grapes affected by botrytis. By the harvestrsquo;s end, each acre yielded only enough grapes for 54 cases of wine, with about 20 percent of that set aside for the estatersquo;s second label.

The 2005 vintage has a lot of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. It is full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. It will be hard not to drink it now. Best after 2014. 97 Points Wine Spectator

Full golden-yellow. Orange oil, clove, ginger, mint and minerals on the perfumed, vibrant nose. Superrich but juicy and vibrant, with an exotic hint to the fresh apricot and peach flavors. This boasts an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and finishes with terrific life and grip. Lafaurie-Peyraguey.

Typical of the huge power of Guiraud, this is one of the richest Sauternes in 2005. The wine is rich and intense, the dry edge of botrytis just dominating the sweetness. Flavors of honey, almonds and peaches give the wine extra complexity.
