Château Giscours is ranked as a Troisième Cru, or 3rd Growth, in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux. The château has a 600 year history going back to when it was a defensive tower overlooking what was once the marshlands of the Médoc, however it wasn't until the 16th century when its history as a wine producer began. The estate is known for producing wines of elegance and class, often being described as an "intellectual" wine by some connoisseurs.

Château Giscours' wines epitomize the classic Margaux style: balance, elegance, perfume, and class. They exude beautiful ripe black fruits with the perfect marriage of new oak flavors. On the palate, the wine is complex and complete with lots of concentration of flavor and an exquisite balance of freshness and power. This is one of the top producers in Margaux and a wine that will age beautifully.

Checking in as a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the 2019 Château Giscours is one heck of an impressive Margaux. Deep purple-hued, with a great nose of both black and blue fruits as well as sappy herbs, tobacco, and flowers, it has nicely integrated oak, medium to full body, ripe yet certainly present tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done. Hide bottles for 4-6 years and enjoy over the following two decades or so.

Really solid for the vintage, with a fresh edge to the mix of black currant, blackberry and fig paste flavors. This wine's energy extends through the finish, where humus, singed cedar, savory and iron-tinged minerality add range and cut. Still shows the vintage's excessive heat, but this manages it better than most of its peers. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2035. 23,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
