In 1552 and in the heart of Margaux, Château Giscours founder, Pierre de Lhomme, began planting the first vines where the Château went on to be recognised as a Third Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Giscours' 40 hectares of vines are located on deep gravel hilltops where the sun rays build the optimum ripening conditions. This wine is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% merlot. Ageing took place for 17 months in French oak barrels (50% new)

Tasting Notes: Deep plum in colour, lilting acidities, some angular tannins at this point, beautifully bitter dark chocolate alongside bilberry and blackberry fruits, with fragrant mint leaf and precisely carved tannic grip. Last year with Lorenzo Pasquini as technical director, before Jérôme Poisson took over in 2021. The first year also when Giscours became the only estate in Margaux owned by the Albada family, as they sold du Tertre. Thomas Duclos consultant, 50% new oak. Harvest September 8 to October 2, 35hl/h yield. Score: 95 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, February 2024

Serving Suggestions: Pairs well with all classic meat dishes, fish and Asian dishes.
