Chateau Giscours 2009 Vintage Overview

2009 OVERVIEW

Opulent yet serious, the 2009 Château Giscours layers succulent blackcurrant and plum fruit with hints of cedar, mocha, spice and warm earth, all carried by polished but abundant tannins that give a tall, architectural feel on the palate. This acclaimed vintage shows real depth and sweetness of fruit, but also a cool, graphite-like backbone that keeps the long finish precise and poised for further development.

About Chateau Giscours

Château Giscours is the grand vin of this historic Third Growth estate in Margaux, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend that epitomizes the appellation’s “iron fist in a velvet glove” style with its combination of power, structure, and sensual charm. Sourced from Garonne gravel hilltops in the heart of Margaux, it is known for its aromatic brilliance, refined silky tannins, and capacity to age gracefully for decades.
