In September and October, plenty of sunshine, combined with cool nights, generated the necessary range in temperatures for the development of fine tannins and good phenolic concentration in the Giscours' berries. We did not have to wait much longer: yields were satisfactory, producing remarkable, concentrated musts, rich in tannins and anthocyanins. 2018 Giscours has an extraordinary balance gives the wine an exceptional profile, harmoniously combining power with precision, and freshness with finesse. It presents the personality of the truly great Margaux. It is sure to age remarkably, due to the excellent balance between fruit, tannins and acidity. These will be generous, voluptuous wines... for many years to come!
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Giscours opens with expressive cassis, blackberry and red currants on the nose with touches of cedar chest, roses and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied with a good core of muscular fruit and firm, grainy tannins, it finishes long.
