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.

Dark spice aromas are here, along with rich tannins and structure, just hinting at the wood aging. The wine, from the south of the appellation, has a rich effect, while also having the Margaux elegance. It is beautifully finished.

Outstanding for the vintage, this wine has true precision and beauty. Medium body, with flavors of currant and chocolate as well as some sandalwood and spice. Nicely balanced. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot, 3% petit verdot. Drink or hold.

Slightly closed and inward aromatically, the 2021 Château Giscours nevertheless shines for its depth, balance, and elegance on the palate. Ripe red and black fruits, graphite, and hints of tobacco slowly open up in the glass, and this hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, good mid-palate depth and concentration, and enough tannins to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age. This is one 2021 that should still be drinking nicely at age 20.
