2018 Chateau Giscours 3. Cru

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Margaux 3. Cru Rouge

Château Giscours 2018 has all the characteristics of a Grand Wine: 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.
 
Wine Enthusiast/Roger Voss tasting notes 96/100 (2021): "Always a significant wine, this latest release with powerful while also stylish black fruits fits into a well-regarded tradition. The density and broad fruitiness of the wine make fine foils for each other. It is firmly structured and set for aging. Drink this wine from 2027".

Blend:
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot.
