General Description
Château Giscours 2022 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation, classified 3ᵉ Grand Cru in 1855. It is distinguished by its elegance, finesse and great ageing potential.
Blend
This vintage is composed of:
- 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc
The harvest took place between 1 and 29 September 2022. Vinification was meticulous, with manual and optical sorting, and maceration for 35 days at 28°C. The wine was aged for 17 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new.
Tasting notes:
The nose is refined, with aromas of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry), violet, peony, with hints of raspberry, star anise, bergamot and a mineral touch.
On the palate, the wine is silky and well-structured, with fine tannins and a lovely freshness. There are flavours of plum and bright red fruit, with a slightly toasty, mineral finish.
