Description
Classified as a Third Growth Chateau in 1855, Chateau Giscours has a long and rich history which can be traced to the 14th century. In 1995, the chateau was bought by Eric Albada Jelgersma, who also owns neighboring Chateau du Tertre, who invested in modernizing its cellars and vineyards. Today the Giscours vineyard is one of the largest in the left bank with 165 hectares in total; 102 hectares lie within the Margaux appellation. 60% of these vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The terroir is composed of mostly gravel with sand and some limestone, on average the vines are 50 years old however there are old vines of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that reach 70 years of age. Chateau Giscours wine is rich and dense in its youth that requires decanting in order to soften its tannin. The wines of Chateau Giscours requires at least 10 years of bottle age before they can be enjoyed.
