Tasting notes
The 2019 La Sirène de Giscours is a fresh, medium-bodied Margaux built around bright red fruit, sweet plum and black cherry, with subtle notes of dark chocolate, spice and a gentle floral lift. The texture is soft and silky, closing on a refined, vibrant and elegant 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.
