Chateau Giscours Margaux 2016 750 ML

Chateau Giscours has constantly reinvented itself to survive the centuries. Pierre de Lhomme, Marc Promis, Jean-Pierre Pescatore, Edouard Cruse, Nicolas Tari and now the Albada Jelgersma family – all ambitious and visionary estate owners who were passionate about pulling together the estate’s land and giving this vineyard, named a Third Grand Cru Classe in 1855, a reputation for excellence.\n\nThis 2016 blend is composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot… meaning if it was a California wine it would just be called Cabernet Sauvignon! \n \nSplit into various spaces, the Giscours Winery has two vat houses devoted to winemaking – one for wines under the Margaux appellation and another for the Haut-Medoc appellation. It also plays host to wine maturation, as there are more than 1,500 barrels in the vast cellar. They work with some ten different coopers, who supply the winery with French oak barrels every year.\n\nThis Classified Growth in 1855 is the first label of Chateau Giscours. It is of great finesse and elegance. Delicacy and power are combined in this flask to bring you the elegance expected of a great Margaux wine. This wine is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot.
