Tasted as part of a vertical held at the chateau. The 2002 Guiraud is more reticent on the nose than the 2001 with aromas of peach skin, lime pith and wax resin, though the definition is very fine. The palate is fresh and vital on the entry with crisp acidity, plenty of fresh mango and quince flavours. It does not possess the harmony of the 2001, but the finish exudes clarity and precision that dares outshine the previous vintage. Excellent. Drink 2015-2030+ Tasted April 2013. - WA91

The bouquet is precise, the texture is sensual, the smoothness has a somewhat mineral tone ; Château Guiraud expresses elegant purity and aromatic refinement. - Winemaker's Notes
“Throughout its history, Château Guiraud has shown INDEPENDENCE and forged its own path. Its PIONEERING spirit leads the property to create its own grape variety conservatory. In 1996, the team initiated a profound cultural revolution by engaging in the study of BIODIVERSITY. In 2011, it became the first 1 st Grand Cru Classé in 1855 to receive Organic Agriculture certification. " - Information from Chateau Guiraud
