Grape varieties and terroir

Classic assembly for Giscours:

- Cabernet Sauvignon (65%): power, structure, depth
- Merlot (30%): roundness, fruitiness, smoothness
- Petit Verdot (5%): touch of spice and aromatic complexity

The Garonne gravel of the Labarde plateau offers an exceptional terroir, promoting drainage and perfect ripeness of the berries.

Tasting

Color: Deep red, intense purple highlights.

Nose: Complex and seductive bouquet, mixing black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), floral notes of violet, spicy nuances (pepper, liquorice) and a touch of cedar and blond tobacco.

Palate: Full and velvety attack, dense and silky tannins, generous and balanced palate. The finish, long and persistent, reveals superb freshness and refined mineral notes.

Storage Potential

The 2020 Château Giscours is best enjoyed young for its fruity brilliance, but also offers aging potential for 20 to 30 years.

Food and Wine Pairings

To be enjoyed with:

- Bordeaux rib steak
- Roasted rack of lamb with herbs
- Pigeon stuffed with porcini mushrooms
- Hard matured cheeses (Comté, Parmesan)

Château Giscours

Château Giscours, Third Great Classified Growth of Margaux since 1855, extends over 95 hectares of vines in the heart of a vast estate of 300 hectares. Its gravelly Garonne soil is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, the dominant grape variety, accompanied by Merlot. Owned by Éric Albada Jelgersma since 1995, the château has undergone a profound renaissance combining tradition and modernity. The wines of Giscours stand out for their elegance, suppleness, and aging potential. A historical reference of Margaux, Giscours embodies the balance between power and refinement.
