Since the takeover in 1995 by the Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma, chateau Giscours has made a comeback with its fantastic terroir. The domain covers over 80 hectares of vineyard and produces a very reliable but above all classic Margaux with a lot of depth. The Sirene de Giscours is the 2nd wine and is a very interesting alternative to the first wine. The style is sweet and soft, mostly with notes of tobacco and cedar on the nose. The 2019 La Sirene de Giscours is smooth but intense on the palate with aromas of creamy berries, cherries, plums and spices. In the mouth it is a medium to full-bodied wine with rich and fleshy flavors with fine depth in the core, lively acidity and a long, penetrating finish. It consists of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon supplemented with Merlot 12%, Cabernet Franc 9%, Petit Verdot 9% - 90/100 Parker & 94/100 Suckling
TIP: there is now also a 3rd wine. The Haut Medoc de Giscours - highly recommended, especially in terms of price/quality.
