Domaine de St-Guirons, Pauillac 2016
"The 2016 Domaine de Saint-Guirons is classic Pauillac, albeit not a cru classé. Owned by François-Xavier Borie – he of mighty Pauillac 5th Growth, Ch. Grand-Puy Lacoste – it’s much sought-after by those in the know. And it’s grown-up fare, for sure with all the Pauillac hallmarks of dense, concentrated, inky dark Cabernet and Merlot fruit, cassis, tobacco, spice, cigar box and liquorice."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
The vignerons behind some of the Médoc's top Châteaux also work their magic at lesser-known properties, offering some of the best value in Bordeaux. One such example is Pauillac's Domaine de Saint-Guirons, crafted by François-Xavier Borie, the winemaker behind the legendary Château Grand Puy-Lacoste - a wine hailed as one of the standouts of the five-star 2016 vintage.
