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 large estate, 144 ha, of Château Giscours produces a Haut-Médoc of noble origin on 45 ha on the edge of the Margaux appellation. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, aged in barrels for 12 months, an excellent wine already seductive, with a generous bouquet (raspberry, blackberry, cedar) and well structured by elegant tannins. Unquestionable quality/price ratio.
Unquestionable quality/price ratio, all the more in the 2015 vintage, so successful in the southern Médoc.

Second wine of Giscours, La Sirène owes its success to an easy, greedy and round approach on the fruit, quickly accessible. Difficult to resist to its song!

Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « This is a classically styled Giscours, off-dry, a little reserved at first with a moderate spiciness coming through on the finish. It feels pinched at the moment and requires four to six years in bottle. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 93/100 by Antonio Galloni « Medium in body, with terrific freshness and energy, the 2017 shows very well today. [...] I can't wait to see how the 2017 ages given its vibrancy and terrific sense of harmony. » (March 2020)
Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Jolie entrée en bouche savoureuse et le vin se développe très bien construit, savoureux, nuancé et noble dans son grain de tanin. Bonne longueur. » (Oct. 2020)
