Château Giscours is a Third Growth wine estate situated within the Margaux appellation. The property has been owned by the Albada Jelgersma family since 1995, during which time many improvements in techniques and facilities have been made. The 2010 vintage is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot harvested between 27th of September and 14th of October. It is a complex and polished wine, with lovely notes of ripe blueberries, black cherries, figs, liquorice and some cedar. Drinking well now.

High levels of Cabernet Sauvignon, a reflection of how well this grape did in the 2016 vintage as well as replanting in the vineyards, and you start to see the Giscours of today. Beautiful, this for me is hugely better than the 2009, with creaminess to the texture, and plenty of dark ripe fruit character, paired with grip and understated power, opening through to bitter chocolate, sage, liquorice and campfire smoke. Great quality, full of energy and saline kick. Second year with Denis Dubourdieu as consultant, 50% new oak. Simonit and Sirch began to work on the pruning in the vineyards also at this point. Harvest September 27 to October 14.Jane Anson10th October 2024

The 2010 Giscours continues to bear traits of mocha and dark chocolate on the nose, with a touch of wild mint and bold black fruit, though the 2009 has more nuance. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, very concentrated, still a little oaky, and quite bold again on the finish that is overtly peppery. Yet overall, it is missing some elegance and feels a bit overpowering on the finish. Full-throttle. Neal Martin2nd April 2025
