The Winery
Giscours
On the Giscours land, in the very heart of the Margaux region, there is a great wine, Château Giscours, renowned as a gold standard in the world of Bordeaux Grand Crus. At Giscours, the château is surrounded by a vibrant community. Wine is at once the culmination and the point of departure: the origin and the goal.
Giscours has a long rich story and never stopped to reinvent itself thanks to ambitious and visionary families of owners, developing a strong reputation of excellence to this spectacular Estate. Since 1995, Giscours is owned by the Albada Jelgersma family, who keeps building the strong identity of the winery, always focusing on modernity and elegance.
Tasting Notes
- WS93
- Very dark and concentrated, with intense aromas of tobacco, coffee and blackberries. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long finish of licorice, berry and currants. Giscours is doing something special. Best ever from here.
- WA92
- Probably the finest Giscours made since the 1975, this black/purple-colored 2000 offers up terrific notes of camphor, creosote, blackberry, and cassis jam intermixed with notions of smoke and earth. Spicy, with low acidity, a big, rich, fleshy, full-bodied palate, outstanding texture, and a long, pure finish, it is, to reiterate, one of the best Giscours produced over the last 25 years. A sleeper of the vintage, it is still available for a realistic price.
