Château Giscours
Margaux - 3ème Grand Cru Classé
Description
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Château Giscours, a Grand Cru Classé of 1855, reveals a particularly velvety texture, great aromatic complexity, beautiful fruit and magnificent concentration, indicative of good ageing potential. The grapes are carefully sorted before the vinification which is done in concrete and stainless steel tanks. The maceration lasts more than a month and the wine is aged for almost a year and a half in French oak barrels with a proportion of new wood of 50%.
The 2024 Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note:“Enticing nose of tangy red and black fruits, lifted by a touch of spice. The palate opens with a supple attack, offering a generous, rounded silky texture. The finish is powerful yet refined, peppery and vibrant. ”
