The Wine

The 2015 Château Giscours is a standout Margaux from an exceptional Left Bank vintage. Warm, dry conditions during the growing season produced ripe, concentrated fruit, while careful vineyard management preserved freshness and structure. The result is a wine that perfectly captures Margaux elegance — perfumed, refined, yet powerful beneath its silky exterior.

2015 is widely regarded as one of the finest recent vintages in Bordeaux, and Giscours delivered a beautifully balanced, age-worthy expression.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry layered with violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice.

Palate: Full-bodied yet graceful, with ripe dark fruits framed by polished tannins. Notes of cocoa, tobacco, and crushed stone add depth, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and structured.

Finish: Long, elegant, and persistent, with lingering floral lift and refined oak.
