At that time it was a defensive tower overlooking a wild and inhospitable region. The real beginning came in 1552, when Pierre de Lhomme, a wealthy Bordeaux draper, bought a nobleman’s house called “Guyscoutz”; he proceeded to turn it into a vast estate and planted the first vines. Wine production was launched and each of the rich merchant’s successors made their own contribution to this magnificent building. It was in the nineteenth century under the promise, Pescatore and Cruse families that Giscours gained much of its finery: the château was transformed into neoclassical palace, architect Eugene Bülher and the production facilities were modernized with the construction of huge buildings, including the famous «Ferme Suzanne”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe history of Giscours represents a fascinating story, full of countless anecdotes…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis wine offers a nose with black fruits aromas and lightly spicy notes. In the mouth, it is a delicious wine, with spicy caramelized notes and a beautiful long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Classified Growth in 1855 is the first label of Château Giscours. It is of great finesse and elegance. Delicacy and power are combined in this flask to bring you the elegance expected of a great Margaux wine. The aging potential of this great wine is between 8 and 20 years or even more for the most exceptional vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE97\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis firm wine shows the tannic side of the vintage. Those tannins are dusty, enriched with black-currant fruits and a dense backdrop. The wine is concentrated and elegant, very ageworthy and not likely to be ready before 2025.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCellar Selection\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS96\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlenty of violets and dark berries on offer here. This has a striking sense of purity as well as an energetic, regal palate. The structure is impressively groomed with effortless depth and length. A standout wine. Try from 2022.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeep 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRating: 94+\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolished and rounded in feel, with a solid core of plum and blackberry compote flavors, lined with light hints of charcoal, tobacco and violet. Nice perfumy tobacco and warm tar notes show on the finish. Very well-integrated, making this approachable now, but there’s no rush. Best from 2020 through 2035.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlightly smoky cassis nose then good florality and fine depth of Cabernet fruit and fine tannins. Has the classic Giscours charm with more weight than usual; will show very well. Barrel Sample\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Giscours","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43167902400736,"sku":"111957","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-giscours-chateau-giscours-grand-cru-classe_1_5b6f032f-86c5-42e1-8782-c8edc570dcc4.jpg?v=1663884084","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-giscours-grand-cru-classe-2015-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
