Estate
On the Giscours land, in the very heart of the Margaux appellation, there is a great wine, Chateau Giscours, renowned
as a gold standard in the world of Bordeaux Grand Crus. But Giscours is much more than that! At Giscours, the chateau
is surrounded by a vibrant community. Wine is at once the culmination and the point of departure : the origin and the
goal.
A working farm, grasslands where farm animals graze, a vegetable garden, in order to be as self-sufficient as possible, providing local produce for the château and restaurant kitchens as well as fertilizer for the vines and feed for the livestock.
Guests stay on site in our rooms or houses, whether for a day or several nights, for a celebration, a memorable event, a relaxing getaway or a private dinner at the chateau. Visitors can explore the vast expanses of the chateau's park, a forest of wonders where they will discover rare species, venerable trees and an astonishing array of wildlife, along the locks of streams and ponds. Abundance is the rule at Giscoursand we think big.
Farm workers and wine-growers come and go, grapes arrive, visitorscross paths in the shop, the work of a vineyard is carried out, tractors, lorriesand cars make their way through the property and wine tastings are held throughout the day.
Discovering Giscours means enjoying an exceptional wine, a Troisieme Grand Cru Classe (Third Great Growth), powerful and precise, a historic symbol of Bordeaux's reputation ; but it also means experiencing and engaging in life at Giscours. Taking part in this vibrant whirlwind, participating in and getting a taste of life at Giscours makes for a surprising, memorable, unique experience.
A far cry from the world of image effects and museum properties, Giscours gives visitors an opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the life of a wine estate ; a captivating, one-of-a-kind luxury experience.
This unparalleled blend of life and wine makes Giscours, "the most spectacular experience" in Bordeaux.
