2018 Chateau Giscours Grand Cru Classe - "Margaux"
Château Giscours 2018 has all the characteristics of a Grand Vin: power, finesse and the capacity to travel through time. In this vintage, the particularly high percentage of Merlot in the final blend delivers to the wine a roundness and density that envelop the structure and the tannins naturally present on our soils of deep gravels.
The Cabernets reached perfect maturity thanks to a privileged Indian summer and they have been as always there to bring forward, through a gentle vinification, the structure, the freshness and the long ageing potential.
