Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru 2024

94–95
/100

Medium rubinrød farve. Smuk sødmefuld næse. Masser af røde og sorte kirsebær og mørke vilde hindbær. Fin, let blomsterduft på toppen med et moderat strejf af nougat og mælkechokolade. Meget elegant og charmerende! Også masser af charme i den rød-sorte kirsebærsmag. Kirsebærrene dominerer totalt! Meget fine, polerede og polerede tanniner! Slet ikke de seneste års pres, men snarere en finesse med relativt lidt kraft i centrum. Lidt slank og alligevel meget vellykket, vinen er sjov og fornøjelig - chic Margaux! Den vil helt sikkert være fantastisk i den tidlige drikkefase. Men appellationerne på venstre bred er bestemt meget heterogene i Margaux og Saint Jullien. Nedbøren var meget forskellig. Margaux, Pauillac og Saint-Julien er i mange tilfælde meget magre, især hvis de blev høstet tidligt. Nogle få undtagelser som denne store Giscours bekræfter dog reglen. *** Giscours er en 90 hektar stor vingård direkte i Margaux. En spektakulær beliggenhed lige ved den sydlige begyndelse af appellationen. Typisk Garonne-grusjord med dyb dræning, herunder ler. Spontan gæring i kælderen, 50 procent af lagringen foregår i nye barriques og 50 procent i brugt træ. Vinmarkerne er tæt beplantet. Det reducerer også udbyttet kraftigt. Det betyder kun omkring et halvt kilo druer pr. vinstok. Exupery, kun lige bag Rauzan-Ségla og nogle gange endda foran den. Kun Margaux og Palmer ligger stadig i toppen.

Markus Del Monego om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

Intense purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Quite closed nose with fine fruit, rather restrained character. On the palate well structured and balanced with ripe yet firm tannins, classic fruit expression and subtle oak. Very good length. Tastingbook.com

Jane Anson om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

Plush, impressive colour, with medium to full intensity inky plum. Good quality, feels like a true En Primeur sample with its fragrance, austerity, well built tannins, impressive, sappy, savoury and understated black fruits. Will take its time to show the fragrant heart of Margaux, but it's in there. Alex Van der Beek director. Famille Albada Jelgersma. 35 hl/ha yield.

Decanter om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

A little shy on the nose, needs some coaxing, blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry fruit. Dried flowers, roses, violets, milk chocolate, creamy. Lovely texture on the palate, filling and round, plush and gently firm. Grippy but not overdone. Some enjoyable austerity but the structure is there and this has mouthwatering acidity. Dried herbs, mint, salty stones, tobacco and some dried spices. Well built with a sense of character. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 50% new oak barrels. 3.71pH. Tasted three times. A yield of 35hl/ha.

Parker om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

The 2024 Giscours has turned out very well indeed. Offering up incipiently complex aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with orange zest, licorice, violets and burning embers, it's medium to full-bodied, with good density and richness, with a layered, rather muscular palate and a long, expansive finish. The 2024 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The estate retained cover crops to amplify the dry conditions in July and August, accelerating ripening, and once again picked by vine age within blocks, bringing in the younger-vine fruit earlier before it could rot. Merlot came in between 19 and 28 September, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked very late, between 1 and 11 October.

Colin Hay om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

Picked in successive tries – with the old vine Cabernet picked in some cases 10 days apart from the young Cabernet. Coiled and beautiful in its slightly wistful, dark berry and cherry aromatics. A touch of walnut oil. The florality is very delicate and there’s a hint of incense and candle smoke that I love here, again very delicate. Cool and beautifully composed with a pronounced spherical core densely packed with bright, vivid dark berry fruits. Crystalline in texture and nicely layered if lacking a little of the detail of the 2022 and 2023; but with all of the focussed precision of both. Very composed and beguiling.

Galloni om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

The 2024 Giscours is impressive. Elegant and sleek, with fine balance, Giscours is all class. The bouquet alone is so enticing. Small red berry fruit, spice, tobacco, mint and cedar are all finely sketched in a mid-weight, nervy Giscours that is quite showy right out of the gate. There is a bit of edginess in the tannins, but that's not anything that can't be addressed with élevage. A closing burst of aromatics leaves a long-lasting impression. Tasted three times.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

Vibrant, and silky in the mouth, the wine delivers its layers of sweet, lifted, black cherries, dark cocoa, refreshing mint, spice, and strawberries. There is elegance, and length, with a fruit-filled, refined, energetic finish. Give it a year or two in the bottle, and the wine will be even better. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV, pH 3.71. Harvesting took place September 18 - October 11. Drink from 2028-2045.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

Based on 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Château Giscours offers beautiful darker currants, cassis, and violets intermixed with classy oak notes. Medium-bodied and nicely concentrated on the palate, it offers elegant tannins, beautiful balance, and impressive length. The harvest was very late here, and it shows in the depth and concentration of the wine.

Suckling om: Chateau Giscours 3eme Cru

A fresh and vivid red, showing blackcurrants, herbs and hints of needles and dried flowers. Medium-bodied. Nicely chewy tannins extend to the medium-long finish, which is bright, firm and linear. A Giscours that shows the elegance and balance of the vintage. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.
