J-M Quarin : 97/100 « Pale yellow in colour, with a brilliant sheen. The nose is intense, refined, pure and subtle, with hints of raspberry and cream. On the palate, it is remarkable, offering a first-class texture, a fresh and subtle aromatic profile, a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, and a long, intricate finish. A thoroughly seductive and magnificent wine. »

Vinous (N. Martin) : 95-97/100"The 2025 Guiraud is well defined on the nose, with plenty of botrytised fruit, hints of saffron and apricot blossom, quite nuanced compared with some of its peers. The palate is well balanced, with a tangy, mellifluous entry. Bright acidity counters the richness of this Guiraud, a touch of spice towards the lingering and powerful finish that fans out with style. This is a great Guiraud from winemaker Sandrine Garbay."

Bettane+Desseauve : 95-96/100 “A very successful vintage, characterised by textbook botrytis and top-class ageing. Great length.”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 93-95/100 "The 2025 Guiraud balances power and energy like very few Sauternes can. Orange confit, passion fruit, crystallized ginger and exotic white flowers fil out the layers. Silky contours are a sign of total finesse. Impeccable. Guiraud is one of the most elegant Sauternes readers will come across. »

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-94/100 “Elegant and restrained, it displays great finesse and nuance. Whilst it follows the eminently distinguished style of the 2022 and 2023 vintages, this 2025 appears slightly more reserved in its expression.”
