A classic Margaux from one of the appellation's most reliable third growths, the 2023 Giscours delivers the perfume and finesse the commune is known for, backed by real structure. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, giving dark currant and graphite notes, while Merlot fills out the mid-palate with plush red fruit. Expect violet and cedar aromatics, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savory finish — built for the cellar but approachable with a few years of air.

"The 2023 Giscours is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, new leather, dried herbs, chocolate and gravel infuse the palate with notable depth and intensity. This has really shut down post-bottling. Giscours is usually much more charming in its youth. Today, the stress of a vintage marked by heat and low yields of just 30 hectoliters per hectare comes through in the wine's tannic profile and overall feel. "
