Giscours OWC-12 Margaux AC – 2011

This wine is available to order by the bottle or in original cases.
It is not in stock immediately but will be ready for delivery in week commencing 17th November.

This fairly large estate (by Bordeaux standards) consistently offers excellent value for anyone looking for a really good example of the Margaux appellation at an affordable price. Their beautiful chateau is surrounded by vineyards, woodland and overlooks their own lake, in which legend has it, a mermaid lives (hence the name of their second wine – la Sirène!) 

The 2011 is showing wonderful development and maturity now. This is proper Cabernet with lovely mature fruit flavours, truffles and round, smooth tannins. Excellent value. 94/100 PL, tasted at the chateau in September 2025

“Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical, the 2011 Château Giscours is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, picked between September 8 and October 1. It offers more fruit intensity than the 2012 and I find more Margaux florality here. It would benefit from more delineation, but there is decent delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin on the entry, red cherry and raspberry fruit intermingling with cedar and tobacco notes. It feels a little conservative on the finish and needs more finesse, but it is a commendable contribution to the vintage. Tasted June 2015.” 90/100 Wine Advocate
