2012 G de Guiraud, Bordeaux Blanc Sec

2012 G de Guiraud, Bordeaux Blanc Sec

G de Guiraud has been a favourite of the Lay & Wheeler team for the last couple of vintages and 2012 looks to be no exception. Fragrant pure on the nose with notes of soft lemon and white flowers, the palate is bright and mouthwateringly fresh. Notes of lemon, gardenia and a touch of sea salt are framed by a tense mineral structure and carry through onto a long finish. Undeniably excellent value.

"70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon, 80% fermented in ex-Sauternes barrels, the rest in steel. Tangy aroma of orange zest. Very very fresh with grapefruit pith tang and a very slight grain. Refined and lively all at once. Fine dry length." 17 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com
