Very limited!
96-Points by Wine Enthusiast. *Cellar Selection*
Still dry and concentrated and with swathes of rich tannins, the wine is dark and dense. The undertow of ripe black fruit is impressive. It obviously has considerable aging potential, Drink this serious wine from 2025.
Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 20% Merlot.
95-James Suckling.
Blueberries, tar and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied, solid and dense. Velvety tannins. Long finish. Down on this! Needs at least two or three years to soften.
Winemaker Notes
This Classified Growth in 1855 is the first label of Château Giscours. It is of great finesse and elegance. Delicacy and power are combined in this flask to bring you the elegance expected of a great Margaux wine. The aging potential of this great wine is between 8 and 20 years or even more for the most exceptional vintages.
- Château Giscours, a Grand Cru Classé, is one of the very few estates with vineyards planted in a single stretch, at the heart of an unspoiled ecosystem of 400 hectares of meadows and forest. The 100-hectare estate in the Margaux appellation boasts an ideal location on the magnificent Labarde and Arsac plateau.
- Château Giscours, one of the oldest seigneuries in the Médoc, has reinvented itself constantly over the centuries. Pierre de Lhomme, Marc Promis, Jean-Pierre Pescatore, Edouard Cruse and Nicolas Tari were all ambitious and visionary estate owners who were passionate about pulling together the estate's land and giving this vineyard a reputation for excellence. These efforts were rewarded by the official classification in 1855, when Giscours was named a third Grand Cru Classé.
- In 1995, a new chapter began with Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma, who oversaw a meticulous rehabilitation of the vineyards and buildings. It took a lengthy process, patience, and unfailing technical and commercial organization for Giscours to retain a strong identity and become the embodiment of a flourishing estate that has successfully transcended change.
- Today, his children are following in their father's footsteps as they enable the estate to develop whilst also preserving its rich ecosystem.
- This well-arranged land is a winemaker's dream. Deep Garonne gravel hilltops with slight variations give Giscours wines their structure and elegance. This exceptional terroir suits our vines, which offer up the best of themselves under the influence of the oceanic climate.
