RED WINE

Ageing

12 months of ageing in barrels.

Background

Haut-Medoc Giscours has been elaborated from the historical Giscours’ Haut-Medoc appellation vines (60 ha in total).
Since its creation, in 1992, this wine is vinified by our teams with the same care that leads the elaboration of our grand cru classe, Chateau Giscours.
Our Haut-Medoc plots have benefited from the ideal conditions of 2020. The resulting Haut-Medoc is a generous wine with a rich bouquet of sundrenched fruits. Haut-Medoc Giscours 2020 is an enjoyable, convivial and delightful wine; full of aromatic brilliance, the perfect illustration of Giscours' identity.

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.
