Château Giscours 3ème Cru Classé AC Margaux

A Margaux that combines structure and elegance: Château Giscours has been one of the Troisièmes Crus Classés since the 1855 classification and stands for a style that does not prioritize power over finesse.

The winery is located in the heart of the Margaux appellation in the Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde. The region's soils consist of gravel over permeable subsoil, a terroir that has always given red wines here finesse and fragrance. The grape variety list includes Cabernet Franc, usually part of a cuvée in the Médoc, where it contributes freshness and a spicy note to the wine.

In the glass, you can expect a dry red wine with aromas of redcurrant, graphite, and cedarwood, typically accompanied by a hint of violets and herbal spice. On the palate, the fruit is balanced by firm tannins and lively acidity, and the finish is long-lasting. Decant the wine for an hour before serving and drink it at 16 to 18 °C. It pairs well with rack of lamb with rosemary, grilled entrecôte, or mature hard cheese like Comté.
