Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 08 Feb 24
The 2021 Giscours has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries and licorice mingled with hints of violet and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, it's seamless and enveloping, with good depth at the core, beautifully polished tannins and a long, perfumed finish. This is one of the real successes of the vintage. As readers may remember, it's a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot.

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 02 Apr 24
Enticing vibrant ruby red in colour, medium intensity. The fruit is savoury and lean, liqourice and rose petals, raspberry leaf, finessed and sculpted, Margaux typicity, carefully extracted and handled but more austere than recent vintages of Giscours. Alexander van Beek director, Thomas Duclos wine consultant. 38hl/h yield. Blend different from En Primeur (my mistake, as it added up to 105%!). Tasted twice.

Vinous Neal Martin - 02 Apr 25
The 2021 Giscours has an elegant and well-defined bouquet with violet and iris flower, quintessentially Margaux, with just a hint of mocha in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins and modest weight. Quite saline in the mouth, it just misses a bit of weight and grip on the finish. This is a fine earlier-drinking Giscours.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 23 Apr 24
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Giscours needs a little swirling to unlock notes of fresh blackcurrants and kirsch plus nuances of sauteed herbs, graphite, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate has an herbal line lifting the delicate black berry flavors, with lightly chewy tannins leading to a refreshing finish.

Tasted blind. Muddy crimson. Interesting nose with zest and fruit, and not too much acidity. Things are in balance. Long and well balanced. A cool customer. (JR)
