"Lots of deep blue fruit with blackberries and grape skins, as well as tar and asphalt.Lead, too.It's full-bodies, yet very tight with powerful, defined tannins, surrounded by attractive ripe fruit.serious.Reminds me of the excellent 1975.A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% merlot."

"this is a serious Giscours,with medium intensity violet-edged ruby colour. High aromatics om the nose with cumin and cloves,followed by blackcherry nd cassis fruits that do a good job of filling tha palate, and a cooling menthol finish as the tannins close in. Enjoyable overall, succelent yet with precision. Harvest lasted for an entire month, from September 11 toOctober 12,the longest everat the estateand a reflection of more precise plot-by-plot work,with vines separated according to age and terroir.ThomasDuclos is consultant hereas of the 2019 vintage.A yield of 44hl/ha.Drinking Window 2028-2044".

"Based on 65% Cabenet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the 2019 Château Giscours is another stunning 2019.Deep Purple, with a fresh yet concentrated style on the palate,it has lots of red, black, and blue fruits as welle as notes of sandalwood, flowery incense, and graphite. It's not massive, by any means, yet is flawlessly balanced and has integrated acidity, followed by a great finish. It's very much in the precise, pretty, elegantstyle of this vintage yet still packs plenty of mid-palate depth.Give bottles 4-5 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 25 years or so".

"Flowers,black,red and blue fruits,wet earth, spice and smoke produce the attention-grapping perfume.Pure silk and velvet in texture, the wine has richness and depth, while focusing on its purity and freshness. The long finish, with its fabulous lift and sweetness in the fruit keeps on going, long after the wine has left the glass. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon with 35% Merlot,13,9% alcohol. Picking took place September 11 - October 12,making this the longest harvest in the history of Giscours. This is the best vintage produced in the long history of Château Giscours"

Om Château Giscours

Det grandiøse Château Giscours er beliggende i Labarde-kommunen, i det sydlige Margaux. Slottet råder over 102 hektar med grusaflejringer, som i dybde varierer fra 2 til 8 meter.

Den hollandske ejer Eric Albada Jelgersma har over de seneste to årtier har givet sine to Margaux-slotte, hhv. Giscours og du Tertre, tiltrængte indsprøjtninger af dynamik og kapital.

Efter seriøse genplantninger, omlægning til markpløjning samt grundig restaurering af produktionsfaciliteterne begynder resultaterne nu for alvor at vise sig. De internationale ratings har siden årtusindeskiftet fået et gevaldigt løft, og Giscours lever nu igen fuldt op til sin 1855-klassificering som 3. Cru Classé.
