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).
The 2008 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - October 2024): 90/100 "The 2008 Giscours has a delightful bouquet with mainly black fruit, cedar and iris flower, quite pretty and refined, classical in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, decent freshness, good energy and just a touch of VA. It's a little edgy for Giscours, but I appreciate the salinity on the finish. Drinking now."
