Margaux Château Giscours 3ème G.C.C.

Information

Description

Château Giscours is an 1855-classified Margaux that seeks to unite vigour with finely textured tannins. Its rises of alluvial gravel provide drainage and a particularly favourable setting for Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot contributes roundness, while the Cabernets bring structure, freshness and density. Picking involves repeated passes through the plots, taking vine age into account so that grapes are gathered at the appropriate stage of ripeness. In the cellar, tasting guides a maceration approach centred on gentle extraction. These choices underpin the broad, silky style described by the estate.
