Haut-Médoc Giscours

Presentation

Another interpretation of our terroir

Haut-Médoc Giscours is a convivial, fresh wine for your enjoyment. It reveals the beautiful aromatic radiance that forms part of the Giscours identity.

Our vineyard workers meticulously cultivate our Haut-Médoc vines (60 ha in total) all year round in keeping with the same philosophy. Balance and finesse remain key. The terroir, a mixture of fine gravel and sand, ensures a hugely delicate wine.

With abundant fruit, delicate tannins and a hugely fresh finish, this is a wine of which we are very proud, and which fully deserves its place alongside Giscours’s top wines.

Vintage 2019: all the identity of Giscours in a Haut-Médoc

Haut-Médoc Giscours has been elaborated from the historical Giscours’ Haut-Medoc appellation vines (60 ha in total). Since its creation, in 1992, this wine is vinified by our teams with the same care that leads the elaboration of our grand cru classé, Château Giscours.

The 2019 vintage has beautiful fruity notes of blackberry, black currant and raspberry. In the mouth, a perfect marriage of sweet spices and round tannins makes this wine a great expression of our Haut-Médoc terroir. Haut-Médoc Giscours 2019 has the emblematic character of Giscours wines: structure, aromatic brilliance and fine tannins.
