Harvest
Château Giscours 2016 has all the qualities of a great Margaux.
2016 has been a year with beautiful weather conditions for the elaboration of a Great Wine: a mild spring, ideal for the development of the vines, and a dry summer with moderate temperatures.
During harvest, each fruit has been picked at its best. From September 26th to October 20th.
