Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep garnet with purple hues — radiant and concentrated, hinting at immense depth.
Aroma: Captivating bouquet of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, and wild herbs layered with subtle tones of cedar, vanilla, and cigar box. The aromatic lift is unmistakably Margaux — elegant yet powerful.
Palate: The 2022 Giscours unfolds in waves — a core of ripe black fruits, cassis and mulberry framed by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and crushed rock weave seamlessly through the palate, delivering power without heaviness.
Finish: Long, resonant, and beautifully composed — polished oak integration and fine mineral tension draw the wine out in a finish that lingers for minutes.
