RATINGS

98James Suckling

Stunning aromas of blackcurrants, dark mushrooms and black cherries with forest-floor notes. Full body that fills your mouth with fine, caressing tannins and dark, flavorful fruit. The tannins are very intense and structural, spreading across the palate in layers and giving intensity and energy. Plenty of energy and verve here.

97+ Jeb Dunnuck

...packed with cassis, black cherries, violets, and graphite-like aromatics. Medium to full-bodied...concentrated and intense, with beautifully ripe tannins, a pure, graceful mouthfeel, and a long, structured finish...remarkable balance...

96The Wine Advocate

...wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of sweet berries, mint, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered...textural and enveloping, built around lively acids and sweet powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish.

96Vinous / IWC

...brilliant wine. It has a cornucopia of aromas on the nose...blackberry, blueberry, crushed stone, violet and peony, all blossoming with aeration. The palate is supremely well balanced with enormous substance and grip...

96Decanter Magazine (points)

Richly aromatic on the nose - scents of fresh flowers, bramble fruit and cherry stones. Smooth and succulent, a gorgeous texture - silky and glossy with crunchy and juicy fruit...utterly charming in its presentation of flavours and textures. Clean and crystalline, feels sophisticated and complex... Plump, ripe, round and well worked. Feels very precise and purposeful and I love the minty lift on the finish that just makes you want to take another sip.

95Wine Spectator

Warmed cassis and plum notes form the core, while lilting lilac, violet and iris accents stream throughout. Offers a flash of black tea on the finish, along with a beguiling, cashmerelike mouthfeel. Judicious toast lets it all play out beautifully.

94CellarTracker

17Jancis Robinson

Fragrant cassis and a touch of stone dust Firm and chewy, seemingly both fruit and oak tannins...elegant overall...

#1 of 2025Wine Spectator Top 100

...shows a decidedly fresh profile as it offers up an array of floral nuances along with classic cassis and plum fruit flavors. The mouthfeel is seductive, while a light-handed toast allows the finish to sail through unencumbered.

PRODUCER

Château Giscours

Château Giscours, in the commune of Labarde, is in the Margaux appellation. It is a Third Growth estate. Archival references to the estate date to the 14th century and by the 16th century it was a noted wine-producing estate. After the French Revolution it was briefly owned by two Americans, but by the mid-19th century it was owned by a French banker, Count de Pescatore, who hired Pierre Skawinski to manage it. Skawinski managed the estate for 50 years and was responsible for greatly improving the estate’s viticulture and wines. It was purchased in the 1950s by the dynamic viticulturalist Pierre Tari, who made great improvements, and today the estate is owned by Eric Albada Jelgersma. The estate’s 197 acres of vineyards are planted to 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. About 300,000 bottles are produced annually.
