The 2017 Château Giscours is an elegant 3ème Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, showcasing the classic, more refined side of Bordeaux. The cooler 2017 vintage is less about opulence and more about freshness, finesse, and drinkability.
On the nose, cassis, dark cherry, and blackberry combine with violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, the 2017 Giscours is medium-bodied and precise, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
A classic Margaux Grand Cru Classé that is already very enjoyable but still possesses further aging potential. Highly recommended for Bordeaux lovers seeking elegance and freshness rather than excessive power – and an excellent food pairing for beef, lamb, and game.
