OWNER’S DESCRIPTION
Château Giscours 2023 is a remarkable wine, beautifully balanced. It stands out with a lovely combination of ripe black fruits, exceptional volume and energy, as well as a great fullness of tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon once again proves to be the undisputed grape variety of this vintage, offering a magnificent length on the palate and a typically Giscours saline finish. This constant quest for precision allows Giscours to transcend the demands of vintages such as 2023 and to maintain its exceptional identity year after year.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) 96-98/100 : “The 2023 Giscours is the very best wine I have ever tasted here. Giscours has been knocking on the door of Bordeaux’s elite for a few years now. Two thousand twenty-three is the year in which Giscours joins the region’s big boys and girls. A towering, majestic Margaux, the 2023 dazzles from start to finish. What a wine!”.

Wine Advocate 94-96/100 : “The 2023 Giscours is one of the real successes of the vintage, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and red fruits mingled with hints of undergrowth, violets and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s seamless and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a long, broad finish. It’s a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc”.

James Suckling 96-97/100 : “This really expands in the mouth, with tight tannins that are polished and velvety. The fruit shows depth and purity. Medium to full body. Juicy center-palate. Like the ripe fruit in the center palate. The quality of the tannins in this rises to a new level. The tannins pull you through the wine. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc and the rest merlot”.
