Tasting notes
The 2016 Château Giscours delivers a Cabernet-forward expression of Margaux, built on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot. Aromatics lean dark and fragrant: cassis, black cherry and violet, layered with cedar, graphite and cocoa. On the palate it's full-bodied and firmly structured, yet the tannins carry a silky texture through to a long, vibrant finish.
More About The Winery
First documented in 1330 as a fortified stronghold and producing wine since at least 1552, Château Giscours sits on a gravel plateau in the Margaux appellation, its vineyard today spanning some 102 hectares. Ranked a Troisième Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification, the estate was transformed after businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma's 1995 purchase, extensive replanting since lifting its Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend into the front rank of modern Margaux.
