Château de Giscours Margaux 3e Grand Cru Classé

Château de Giscours is one of the most appreciated wines in the Margaux appellation, classified as a 3rd Grand Cru Classé since the famous classification of 1855. This wine is a blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a small amount of Petit Verdot, resulting in a rich and complex wine. It has a deep ruby ​​red color and offers an expressive nose of ripe blackcurrant, cherry, cedar wood and subtle notes of cigar box and spices. On the palate it is elegant, with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity. The finish is long and refined, with a beautiful concentration of fruit and spicy nuances.

Wine serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C.

Wine - Food pairing

Château de Giscours is a perfect match for refined dishes such as rack of lamb, venison fillet or roasted beef ribs. Classic French game such as pheasant or wild boar also go well with the layered structure of the wine. In addition, this wine is excellent to combine with firm, matured cheeses such as an old Manchego or a truffle brie. Due to its elegant tannins and deep flavour profile, it is a wine that beautifully complements dishes with intense flavours.
