Château Guiraud, G de Guiraud, Bordeaux, France 2019

A powerful and complex Bordeaux white made by blending Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc half-and-half. Flinty asparagus, gooseberry and nectarine on the nose, with magnificent smokiness on a savoury palate of crunchy green fruits and mushy peas. White spices and vanilla notes towards the finish, thanks to 7 months of ageing in oak. Deliciously long.
