2021 Château Giscours, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 32%, Petit Verdot 3%

This is the 450th vintage here, and one of which the team are especially proud. Giscours is a working farm and small community; 20 families live on-site. This allowed them to overcome 2021’s natural challenges (including Covid). The wine sizzles with energy, which Alexander van Beek and team have made huge efforts to retain through gentle, measured extractions. The wine is woven with subtlety and finesse, with notes of rose, violet and black cherry. This is a very fine effort, one of the most defined Giscours of the modern era. Drink 2026-2045.

Our score: 17/20
