Château GISCOURS
3ème grand cru classé

Back in top form since the early 2000s, the great Giscours estate has once again become one of the major Margaux growths, in its own distinctive style: very colourful, full-bodied and richly fruity for a Margaux. Its ageing ability has made its reputation as much as its always wise prices.

“The latest vintages are all priorities for the wine-lover,” emphasizes Bettane & Desseauve in its latest guide (2025).

Bettane & Dessauve : 95/100 « Grande couleur, excellent corps, texture complète pour le millésime, qui va demander encore un peu de temps pour se fondre. Grand potentiel et style affirmé. »

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-94/100  « Le cru change d’expression depuis quelques millésimes, avec une droiture plus marquée et l’expression d’un fruit plus juteux. On retrouve ces marqueurs dans le 2024, à l'expression de fruits rouges et à la bouche tendue, presque sur le fil. Très subtil. »

Vinous (A. Galloni): 93-95/100 "The 2024 Giscours is impressive. Elegant and sleek, with fine balance, Giscours is all class. The bouquet alone is so enticing. Small red berry fruit, spice, tobacco, mint and cedar are all finely sketched in a mid-weight, nervy Giscours that is quite showy right out of the gate. There is a bit of edginess in the tannins, but that's not anything that can't be addressed with elevage. A closing burst of aromatics leaves a long-lasting impression."

Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Giscours has a forward and generous bouquet with ripe red cherry, kirsch and cassis scents, with a touch of pencil shavings in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and grainy tannins that frame mainly black fruit. Overall, this is a Giscours cut in a classical style, although the finish needs to cohere and muster more precision during its barrel maturation. An enjoyable Giscours for sure, even if it does not reach the heights of recent vintages."
