Château Giscours looks back on several centuries of winegrowing in Margaux. From a historic estate, it has developed into an important 3ème Cru classé. Modernised and professionally managed, today it combines great depth of vineyard with a clear philosophy of quality – with respect for the place, the vines and time.
Clear, dark ruby. On the nose, cassis, dark cherry and delicate floral notes, underpinned by cedar and graphite. On the palate, firm and supple at the same time: fine-grained tannins, fresh structure, good depth and a long, precise finish.
Strict plot selection, gentle extraction and temperature-controlled fermentation. Aged in French oak for around 15–18 months, a substantial proportion of which is new, to polish the structure without masking the fruit.
