Chateau Guiraud
Chateau Guiraud
During a dinner in early 2006, Robert Peugeot, an industrialist, and three wine makers, Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier, Stephan Von Neipperg of Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere and Xavier Planty made a decision to purchase Chateau Guiraud in Sauternes. The well-known Premier Cru estate is synomous with the sweet wines of Sauternes and the 85 hectares under vine produce luscious wines that have gained added complexity from 24 months in barrel. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are grown on the estate and despite the Sauvignon Blanc being grown in very small proportions, it gives the wines elegance, freshness and aroma.
