2018 Giscours

Château Giscours, a singular estate surrounded by a living and preserved ecosystem If the first traces of the history of Château Giscours date back to the 14th century, it 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. Since then, Giscours has never stopped reinventing itself to survive the centuries. In 1995, Eric Albada Jelgersma, a wine lover and art collector, bought the property, restructured the vineyard and renovated the facilities. Today, his children, assisted by Alexander Van Beek, manage this 3rd Grand Cru Classé in 1855 of Margaux. Spectacular and abundant, Giscours is distinguished by its immensity. A living place in its own right, the estate is an incomparable place of discovery in a preserved nature. Here, the coherence of the whole makes each one successful. The 95 hectares of vines are perfectly integrated into their ecosystem, in the heart of a superb reserve of biodiversity. The forest and the park - designed in 1870 by Eugène Bühler, a renowned landscaper - are home to an exceptional diversity of flora and fauna. The wines produced at Château Giscours are a reflection of the place, its environment and the people who make it. The Grand Vin has a unique signature: a fabulous balance between aromatic brilliance and fine tannins.
