La Guiraude comes from no separate vineyard. It is a barrel selection, so the vinification is identical to the classic wine, and what sets it apart is that the chosen casks spend longer in wood and the wine longer in bottle before release. It is made only in years that produce lots of genuine intensity and ageing potential. The family are quick to point out that it is not automatically the better wine, only the more powerful and spicier one, built for longer cellaring, though in practice it is frequently the deeper and more layered of the pair, savoury and long in a way that recalls Hermitage in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnums evolve more slowly, so allow five to twenty years. Serve at 16-18°C with roast beef, braised oxtail or aged hard cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
