The 2019 Giscours has turned out very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries, burning embers, lilac and violets framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's polished and perfumed, with a velvety, seamless profile and bright animating acids, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Alexandre Van Beek and his team are taking this estate to heights it hasn't hit since the 1970s, and this is another of the great bargains of the 2019 en primeur campaign.

The Taste Profile
Château Giscours is a wine that is known for its elegance and finesse. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, which gives it a complex and layered taste profile. On the nose, you will find aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a silky texture and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of oak. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a long and smooth finish. The History of the Producer
Château Giscours is 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. In the 16th century, the property was acquired by the de Lur-Saluces family, who owned it for over 200 years. In the 19th century, the estate was purchased by the Cruse family, who were prominent Bordeaux wine merchants. They invested heavily in the property, building a new winery and expanding the vineyards. Today, Château Giscours is owned by Eric Albada Jelgersma, a Dutch businessman who has continued to invest in the estate and improve the quality of the wine. Where to Enjoy Château Giscours
