Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2010 Château Giscours is beautiful stuff and has classic Margaux elegance and complexity as well as notable richness and depth. Offering notes of ripe black fruits, smoked earth, freshly sharpened pencils, and tobacco leaf, it's not massive, but it’s medium to full-bodied and has a focused, balanced mouthfeel, integrated oak, and outstanding length. It's a quintessential Bordeaux to enjoy any time over the coming 15 years. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

About the Producer

Château Giscours, a prestigious Troisième Grand Cru Classé, is a pillar of the Margaux appellation, anchored in Labarde. Its history dates back several centuries, and since the 1990s, this Médoc flagship has belonged to the Jelgersma family. Alexander Van der Beek currently manages the estate, upholding an ambition for quality and an inimitable style. The vineyard spans magnificent terroirs, giving rise to powerful and concentrated red wines typical of the Margaux appellation. The tannic structure, a signature of Château Giscours wines, grants them excellent aging potential, promising favorable evolution in the cellar. In addition to its grand vin, the château also produces La Sirène de Giscours, a second wine crafted with equal care, as well as cuvées in Haut-Médoc. It is said that an ancient keep, once dedicated to the defense of the Médoc, stood proudly on the site of the current château. The consistency and inimitable style of Château Giscours make it a sure bet and an essential Margaux for lovers of fine Bordeaux wines. The estate notably works with appellations such as Troisièmes Crus, which extend its signature with consistency.
