Owner's words
Château Giscours 2023 is a remarkable wine, beautifully balanced. It stands out with a lovely combination of ripe black fruits, exceptional volume and energy, as well as a great fullness of tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon once again proves to be the undisputed grape variety of this vintage, offering a magnificent length on the palate and a typically Giscours saline finish. This constant quest for precision allows Giscours to transcend the demands of vintages such as 2023 and to maintain its exceptional identity year after year.
