Chateau Giscours Grand Cru Classe 2017 750ml

Château Giscours Grand Cru Classé 2017 is a refined Bordeaux red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru Classé) under the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, Château Giscours is recognised for producing elegant, aromatic and age-worthy wines.

The 2017 vintage presents a more restrained and classic expression compared with warmer vintages, highlighting freshness, aromatic precision and refined structure. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the wine's backbone, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to create a balanced and expressive Bordeaux blend.

The wine displays attractive blackcurrant, blackberry and red berry flavours alongside floral, cedar, graphite and subtle earthy nuances. Fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity provide structure without overwhelming the wine's elegant character.

With its combination of freshness, refined fruit and polished tannins, Château Giscours 2017 is well suited to fine dining, classic French cuisine and premium Bordeaux collections.
