Chateau Giscours Grand Cru Classe 2012 750ml

Château Giscours Grand Cru Classé 2012 is a distinguished Bordeaux red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru Classé) in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, Château Giscours is renowned for producing elegant, structured and age-worthy wines.

The 2012 vintage presents a refined expression of the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon-led style, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine combines ripe red and dark fruit with floral, earthy and subtly spicy characteristics, while polished tannins and refreshing acidity provide balance and structure.

Elegant rather than overly powerful, the 2012 offers a harmonious combination of fruit, savoury complexity and Bordeaux character. With its developed tertiary nuances and refined texture, it is particularly well suited to fine dining and mature Bordeaux wine collections.
