Marks and reviews

/100

Vinum

Ruby red; initially shy yet profound, herbs, raspberries, blond tobacco; silky on the palate, delicate, ripe fruit, dancing, playful, with tension, finesse, and very good aromatic persistence. A grace!

/100

Decanter

A little shy on the nose, needs some coaxing, blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry fruit. Dried flowers, roses, violets, milk chocolate, creamy. Lovely texture on the palate, filling and round, plush and gently firm. Grippy but not overdone. Some enjoyable austerity but the structure is there and this has mouthwatering acidity. Dried herbs, mint, salty stones, tobacco and some dried spices. Well built with a sense of character. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 50% new oak barrels. 3.71pH. Tasted three times. A yield of 35hl/ha.

Leve Jeff

Vibrant and silky on the palate, the wine unfolds layers of sweet, lifted black cherries, dark cocoa, refreshing mint, spice, and strawberries. There is elegance and length, with a fruit-filled, refined, energetic finish. Give it a year or two in the bottle, and it will be even better. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV, pH 3.71. Harvest took place from September 18 to October 11. Drink from 2028–2045. 93–95 pts

Le Figaro Vin

A deep, commanding nose, poised between linear and opulent, threaded with delicate floral aromas. Very complete on the palate, with an energy that carries the fruit and mineral notes through to the long, saline finish. The satiny texture, silky tannins, and that absolutely delicious finish make it a great wine.

An expressive and refined Margaux wine

The estate

The Château Giscours, located in Bordeaux in the Margaux appellation, is a historic wine estate dating back to 1330, with evidence of viticulture as early as 1552. Managed since 1995 by the Albada Jelgersma family, the estate covers 300 hectares. This Third Growth of 1855 is recognized for its ecological commitment, recent innovations and technical heritage, notably the Skawinski plow.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château Giscours benefits from an exceptional terroir of 95 hectares composed of deep Garonne-origin gravel, typical of the great Margaux wines. These well-draining soils allow vine roots to plunge deeply in search of nutrients, giving the wines their characteristic structure and elegance. The proximity to the Gironde estuary also offers a perfect microclimate for the optimal ripening of the grapes.

Winemaking and aging

Winemaking took place in concrete and stainless steel vats, with a 35-day maceration at 28°C allowing optimal extraction of aromas and tannins. Aging continued for 17 months in French oak barrels, 50% new wood, bringing complexity and finesse to this great wine.

Blend

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot.
