Château Giscours
Close
t all really began in 1552, when Pierre de Lhomme – a rich Bordeaux draper – bought the ‘Guyscoutz’ aristocratic house, established a vast estate around it, and planted the first vines.
The winemaking adventure had begun, and this rich merchant’s successors each in turn made their own contributions.
It was in the 19th century, driven by the Promis, Pescatores and other Cruses, that Giscours gained its most beautiful finery: the Château was transformed into a neoclassical palace, a park was created by the landscape artist Eugène Bühler with numerous rare species, and production equipment was modernised with the construction of immense operational buildings, including the famous Suzanne Farm.
