Château Giscours is a Third Growth estate located within the Margaux appellation. The estate vineyard – one of the largest on the Left Bank with approximately 165 hectares – is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon [60%], Merlot [32%], Cabernet Franc [5%] and Petit Verdot [3%]. The 2001 vintage is now at its peak, delivering notes of dried black fruit, liquorice, black cherry, tobacco, leather, blackcurrant, and forest floor.

- The 2001 Giscours has slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend than the 2000 (5% more, to be precise). The bouquet has always had greater delineation and precision than the previous vintage, offering black cherries, Dorset plum, iris petal and hints of lavender. This is very focused and seems to have lost none of its vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshier than the 2000, lightly spiced with a dash of white pepper, and poised and persistent on the finish. This Giscours is one of the gems of the appellation and is probably à point.
