The richness and refinement of a great Margaux wine
The estate
Château Giscours is a historic property in the Margaux appellation, with vines first planted in the 16th century. Since 1995, Château Giscours has entered a new era in its history following its acquisition by the Albada Jelgersma family.
This superb Margaux 3rd Cru Classé is a true standard bearer for the Bordeaux region with its distinctive neoclassical palace-like architecture, its park of rare species and its buildings including the beautiful "Ferme Suzanne."
The vineyard
Château Giscours 2010 is a Margaux wine made from 94 hectares of vines in production. A real jewel, the singularity of the terroir of Château Giscours lies in the presence of 3 deep Garonne gravel ridges which play a decisive role in the ripening cycle of the grapes.
Winemaking and ageing
The ageing of the wine, which took 15 to 18 months on average, in line with the vintage, takes place in French oak barrels of which 50% are new and 50% of one wine.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (71%)
Merlot (29%)
