Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

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.

Tom Parker MW

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Slightly muted on the nose with fresh rubber and summer pudding. The palate is lithe and sinewy, with fine but persistent tannins framing a bright core of red fruit. Lightly spiced on the finish, with hints of cedar and pine. Honest and compact. (TP)

Julia Harding MW

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Deep crimson. Perfumed with cassis freshness, straightforward and a sense of small-berried fruit. Even some red fruit and a touch of vanilla. Really quite discreet. Finesse in the tannins, a delicacy that belies its persistence on the finish and just enough fruit at the core for harmony. Needs more time than some, I think. (JH)
