The 1988 Château Guiraud is a sweet wine from Sauternes, classified as a Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. The estate, which has a long history dating back to the 18th century, spans 100 hectares, with about 85 hectares dedicated to vineyards. This vintage is composed of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, cultivated on a mixture of gravelly-sandy and clay-limestone soils. The wine reveals characteristics of apricot, honey and a hint of citrus. It displays notable acidity, contributing to its structure and potential for further ageing.

Vinous
Palish, green-tinged color. Floral, grassy, apple-scented nose, with a high-toned suggestion of varnish. Good silky texture in the mouth; flavors of overripe apple and fresh herbs. In the distinctly dryer style of this producer. The acidity seems a bit disjointed. Finishes quite fresh, with a stony quality and an impression of tannins.Stephen Tanzer1st July 1998
