STORY BEHIND THE LABEL

One of the largest estates in Margaux, Château Giscours is one of the eleven Third Growths (Troisièmes Grands Crus Classés) of the region. Straddling the communes of Labarde and Arsac, it lies within the Margaux appellation. After a long and eventful history dating back to the 14th century, Château Giscours has been owned since 1995 by the Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma and is managed by the dynamic Alexander van Beek. The estate has 95 hectares of vines planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, along with a few Petit Verdot vines. The Grand Vin, Giscours, is a rich, fragrant wine with a beautiful texture, consistently ranked at the top of the Margaux pyramid. Driven by the same commitment to quality, the estate also produces two powerful second wines, La Sirène de Giscours and Le Rosé de Giscours
