The most celebrated wine in the world right now — and one of the greatest Margaux releases in a generation. Wine Spectator crowned the 2022 Château Giscours its #1 Wine of the Year for 2025 — the most coveted honor in the wine world — awarding 95 Points and calling it a pitch-perfect example of the vintage profile, with warmed cassis and plum at the core, lilting lilac, violet, and iris accents streaming throughout, a flash of black tea on the finish, and a beguiling cashmere-like mouthfeel of extraordinary seduction. The praise doesn't stop there: James Suckling awarded 98 Points, praising stunning aromas of blackcurrants, dark mushrooms, and black cherries with a full body that fills the mouth with fine, caressing tannins, intense structure, and remarkable energy and verve. Jeb Dunnuck awarded 97+ Points, calling it concentrated and intense with beautifully ripe tannins, a pure graceful mouthfeel, and a long structured finish — predicting 30 to 40 years of prime drinking ahead. Decanter awarded 96 Points, calling it one of the most elegant and beguiling Giscours ever — a remarkable wine of gorgeous clarity, purity, and gentle seduction.  

A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged 17 months in French barrels with 50% new oak, from a historic Third Growth estate whose vineyards sit on three deep Garonne gravel ridges — among the most privileged terroirs in the entire Médoc. The 2022 vintage was so exceptional that no second wine was produced — every grape went into the grand vin, making this one of the most complete and generous Giscours ever made. A wine of genuine historic significance that belongs in every serious cellar

96 Points
" The 2022 Giscours has realized all the potential it showed en primeur, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of sweet berries, mint, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's textural and enveloping, built around lively acids and sweet powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. As I pondered two years ago, why is the 2022 so good? There are many reasons, but one is the high proportion of old vines—almost 60% of the blend derives from vines that are over 50 years old—in a vintage that favored vines with deep, well-established root systems. Another is the increasing precision of harvesting at this address: Giscours's old vines are frequently co-planted with younger replacements that have filled any gaps in the ranks over the years; so, blocks are now picked in two or three passages instead of all at once, with the younger vines picked first. The team also adapted hedging practices to limit hydric stress, which helps to explain the sweetness of the tannins.

"Warmed cassis and plum notes form the core, while lilting lilac, violet and iris accents stream throughout. Offers a flash of black tea on the finish, along with a beguiling, cashmerelike mouthfeel. Judicious toast lets it all play out beautifully. A pitch-perfect example of the vintage profile. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040. 15,000 cases made."
