Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 La Sirene de Giscours features red and black currant compote on the nose with earth and herbs plus a touch of meats. The palate is full-bodied, firm and chewy with lively herbal sparks among the dense black fruits, finishing a little hot.
The 2014 La Sirène de Giscours is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It has a light, cedar-scented bouquet that feels a little rustic. The palate is medium-bodied with high acidity on the entry. It feels a little pinched and needs more flesh to develop toward the finish.
La Sirene de Giscours is the second wine of Château Giscours. From the young vines of the property, the wine presents flexibility, elegance and aromatic freshness; it allows us to approach the style of the famous Cru Classé after only a few years in the bottle. Rich, fleshy, the great Château Giscours wine is always of great finesse of tannins and remarkable aromatic purity underlined by fine spices; it is cut for long years of aging.

Château Giscours is a renowned winery located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate has a long and rich history dating back to the 14th century when it was owned by the Knights Templar.

Château Giscours, a prestigious wine estate nestled in the heart of Margaux, has a rich and intriguing history, spanning over six centuries. With an unwavering commitment to quality, Giscours has established itself as a prominent producer of exceptional wines, rooted in tradition and showcasing the unique terroir of Bordeaux's Left Bank. This esteemed wine producer is renowned for its distinctive style, characterised by elegance, complexity, and longevity.

The origins of Château Giscours can be traced back to the 14th century when it was first documented as a fortified castle. However, it was not until the 16th century that the estate began to cultivate vines, under the guidance of Pierre de Lhomme, a wealthy Bordeaux draper. By the 19th century, Giscours had established itself as a leading Bordeaux wine producer, achieving Third Growth status in the esteemed 1855 Classification of the Médoc.

Throughout its storied history, Château Giscours has witnessed a series of ownership changes, each contributing to the estate's evolution and growth. Most notably, in 1952, the château was acquired by the visionary Nicolas Tari, who was instrumental in reviving Giscours' reputation after a period of decline. Today, the estate is under the stewardship of the Albada Jelgersma family, who continue to build upon its esteemed legacy.

Situated in the appellation of Margaux, Château Giscours boasts a diverse terroir, encompassing gravelly hilltops, limestone plateaus, and clay-limestone soils. The estate's 222 acres (90 hectares) of vineyards are meticulously managed, with a focus on sustainable viticulture practices to ensure the health of the vines and the preservation of the environment. The vineyard is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller parcels dedicated to Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Château Giscours' winemaking philosophy emphasises minimal intervention, allowing the unique characteristics of each vintage to shine through. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and rigorously sorted before being transported to the winery. Here, they undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The estate's wines are then aged in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used each year to impart subtle notes of toast and spice.

Château Giscours produces two distinctive wines: the Grand Vin, Château Giscours, and its second wine, La Sirène de Giscours. The Grand Vin is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This exquisite wine is celebrated for its opulent fruit flavours, velvety tannins, and remarkable ageing potential. La Sirène de Giscours, crafted from the estate's younger vines, offers a more approachable and fruit-forward style, with a charming elegance characteristic of the Margaux appellation.

In addition to its outstanding wines, Château Giscours is committed to preserving its rich heritage and promoting the culture of wine. The estate offers a variety of bespoke experiences, including guided tours, tastings, and gastronomic events, providing visitors with an opportunity to delve into the world of fine wine and the history of this remarkable château.

In summary, Château Giscours stands as a testament to the dedication, passion, and expertise of its proprietors, who have cultivated an exceptional wine estate that continues to enchant wine enthusiasts across the globe. With a storied past and a bright future, Château Giscours remains a beacon of excellence within the hallowed terroir of Bordeaux's

Bordeaux i det sydvestlige Frankrig behøver ikke megen introduktion som en af verdens mest berømte, prestigefyldte og produktive vinregioner. Størstedelen af Bordeaux-vinene (næsten 90 procent af produktionsmængden) er de tørre, mellemfyldige og fyldige røde Bordeaux-blandinger, som har skabt områdets ry.

De fineste (og dyreste) af disse er vinene fra de store slotte i Haut-Médoc og appellationsområderne Saint-Émilion og Pomerol på højre bred. Førstnævnte er fokuseret (på topniveau) på Cabernet Sauvignon, sidstnævnte par på Merlot.

De legendariske rødvine suppleres af hvidvine af høj kvalitet baseret på Sémillon og Sauvignon Blanc. Disse spænder fra tørre hvide, der kan udfordre de bedste fra Bourgogne-regionen (Pessac-Léognan er særligt berømt), til de søde, botrytiserede nektarer fra Sauternes.
