Punteggi dei critici
91 Vinous
The 2008 Giscours is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Compared to the 1998 and 1988, this has much more fruit and vitality on the nose: blackberry, bilberry, cedar and just a faint tang of marmalade. I like the delineation and vibrancy here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, good fruit concentration and fine backbone. There is a little grit embedded in the texture, slightly chalky perhaps, but I like the energy conveyed by this Giscours and it feels minerally and long towards the finish. Very fine. (Tasted at the château and at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual vertical tasting.) (2018 - 2040) -- Neal Martin (Tasted in Feb 2018).

Château Giscours
Tra le più grandi proprietà di Margaux, Château Giscours rappresenta uno delle undici Troisième Grand Cru Classé della regione. Situato nei comuni di Larbarde e Arsac, lo Château si trova nella denominazione Margaux. Con una storia lunga e complessa che risale al XIV secolo, Château Giscours è attualmente di proprietà dell'imprenditore olandese Eric Albada Jedgersma dal 1995. Gestita dal dinamico Alexander van Beek, la proprietà possiede 95 ettari di vigneti piantati a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc e una piccola parte a Petit Verdot. Il Grand Vin, Giscours, è un vino ricco, strutturato e perfettamente aromatico, uno dei migliori Margaux. Con la stessa attenzione alla qualità, la tenuta produce due vini secondari potenti, La Sirene de Giscours e Le Rose de Giscours.
