Viticulture: Agroecological farming, with more than half of the vineyard cultivated according to organic methods. The 95-hectare vineyard lies across three deep Garonne-gravel hilltops, with the oldest vines planted in 1923. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are managed parcel by parcel, with interplanting used to preserve the oldest plots. Harvesting is carried out in several passes according to vine age and ripeness.
Winemaking: Grapes are gently destemmed, manually and optically sorted, then given a cool pre-fermentation maceration. Fermented in concrete and stainless-steel vats with gentle infusion-style extraction and around 35 days of maceration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vat. Aged for around 17 months in French oak, with 50% new barrels.
Château Giscours, a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification, boasts a rich history dating back to 1330. Situated in Margaux, its 165-hectare estate, with 102 hectares under vine, produces a distinguished blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Eric Albada Jelgersma's ownership since 1995 has heralded meticulous vineyard rehabilitation, continuing its legacy of producing esteemed Margaux wines.
