Tasting notes
Unanimously recognized and appreciated, 2010 has its own style, precise and sensual. This wine always surprises by
its structure and delicacy. Chateau Giscours 2010 is the rare expression of the perfect harmony between power and
finesse, a wine for ageing with an exceptional freshness. "De la beauté liquide!" said Denis Dubourdieu.
