Located on Bordeaux’s left bank, Château Giscours is a historic property in the Margaux appellation, with vines first planted in the 16th century. The superb 3rd Cru Classé de Margaux is a true flagship of the Bordeaux region, with its distinctive neoclassical palace-like architecture, its park of rare species and its buildings including the beautiful “Ferme Suzanne”. Since 1995, Château Giscours has entered a new era in its history, following its acquisition by the Albada Jelgersm family.
Tasting notes:
Exotic spice on the nose, along with cedar, perfumed pine needles and blackcurrants. Juicy and sapid, gorgeous in both texture and mouthfeel. Tannins are fine and support the ripe black fruit. Lovely salinity, a feeling of crushed stones on the tongue with concentrated fruits. Direct and precise, elegant, balanced and so approachable. Supple, a tiny bit dry on the mid-palate but fresh and charming with liquorice and a minty-fresh finish.
