Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru Classe, Margaux

2014 Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru Classe, Margaux 12x75cl

Chateau Giscours

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 89?

Located in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region, Château Giscours is a Troisième Grand Cru Classé. The component of its terroir, a mild climate and barrel ageing hold the secrets of this fine wine. Cabernet Sauvignon represents 60% of the vineyard and Merlot 32%, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc compose the remaining 8%. The Château Giscours is an elegant, well-structured wine with bright aromas and luscious, silky tannins. To the Château, wine does not stand alone, but is a representation of its environment. Benefitting from Margaux’s excellent terroir, Château Giscours vineyard’s sit above dry, gravelly hilltops. In turn, this well-balanced, rich wine, is one that will develop beautifully for years to come.

The 2014 Giscours has a composed bouquet with black cherries, violet and light forest floor scents. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshier than its peers, though it doesn't have the acidity to maintain sufficient freshness. This feels a bit chewy on the finish, as if trying too hard. It was a perplexing showing as it showed far better six years ago. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted at the Chateau Giscours vertical, the barrel sample of 2014 tasted two months after primeur showed subtle differences. The bouquet has edged towards more red fruit in the interim, here a little more raspberry and wild strawberry coming forth. The palate is medium-bodied with light supple tannin, the acidity a little lower than at primeur, although I would still have preferred more substance on the finish. This remains a very approachable Giscours, well balanced and yet somehow I still feel that it could have had more ambition. Tasted March 2016.

Quite developed, chocolatey nose. Easy to like though not as fresh as many. Easy and developed.
