The pale lemon colored 2016 Petit Guiraud sings of preserved lemons, pink grapefruit and marzipan with touches of allspice, chalk dust and acacia honey. The palate is quite mineral and savory in character with a lively line carrying off the long, chalky finish.

Bright and racy in feel, featuring pineapple and yellow apple fruit laced with honeysuckle notes. The frankly sweet finish has enough freshness for balance. Drink now through 2028.
