Since its takeover in 1995 by Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma, chateau Giscours with its fantastic terroir has made a comeback. The domain covers more than 80 hectares of vineyard and produces a very reliable but above all classic Margaux with a lot of depth. The Giscours is a beautiful vintage. In the glass it has a beautiful dark purple color - The 2020 Giscours is a blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is a medium to full-bodied wine with beautiful notes of espresso, red fruit, (cherry, raspberry) licorice, leather and has a very refined scent of flowers and fruit with non-dominant but beautifully present oak notes. In the mouth the wine is round, juicy and can be drunk now but can also be stored for another 30 years.
FACT: In the Tab: Appendix you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine. We will send it to you automatically when you order this wine. The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2020 Château Giscours geeft een diepe, paarse kleur en opent met geconcentreerde tonen van rood en zwart fruit zoals kers en pruim, aangevuld met nuances van espresso, laurier, zwarte truffel, zoethout en een verfijnde bloemige eik. Door de sappige, ronde mid‑palate, goed geïntegreerde maar aanwezige tannines en frisse zuurgraad vormt deze Margaux een uitstekende partner voor rundvlees, lam, wild en rijke stoofschotels; ga voor gegrilde entrecote of lamsrack met rozemarijn, langzaam gestoofd rundvlees in rode wijn of hertstoof met paddenstoelen om de fruitigheid en aardse tonen van de wijn extra te laten uitkomen. |

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, the 2020 Giscours reveals a deep garnet-purple color and compelling notes of crushed redcurrants, plum preserves and Morello cherries, leading to hints of lavender, wild sage, damp soil and black truffles with a touch of licorice. The medium-bodied palate bursts with vibrant red and black fruits and lots of savory accents, supported by soft, very well managed tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Giscours is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Succulent dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, menthol and mocha fill out the layers nicely. There's a good bit of Merlot in this year, which lends quite a bit of mid-palate juiciness and textural depth, but there is also plenty of supporting structure underneath. The 2020 is both flamboyant and serious, a pretty appealing combination, I have to say. Tasted two times.

Giscours was in a dubious state when Nicolas Tari acquired it in 1954. Substantial investments followed and quality improved by leaps and bounds. In 1995 Giscours came into the possession of the Dutch grocer (supermarkets to Super de Boer and Edah) Eric Albada Jelgersma, who also invested heavily here, just like at his other Château du Tertre property and further improved the quality through a rigorous replanting and replanting program. The cellars were shed and new equipment was purchased. Today Giscours is again “the grand seigneur” it once was and worthy of a 3rd cru. With 200 ha of which 80 ha of vineyard one of the greatest assets in the Médoc.
