2009 was a legendary Bordeaux vintage—hot, dry, and yielding wines of richness and ripeness across the region. In Margaux, where elegance is key, Château Giscours struck a near-perfect balance between power and finesse. As a Third Growth with deep gravel soils and a track record of age-worthy wines, Giscours leaned into the vintage’s generosity while keeping its signature floral lift and structure.
Now over a decade in bottle, the 2009 is plush but not heavy: layers of blackcurrant, dried rose, cedar, and sweet spice glide across a silky texture, with fine, fully integrated tannins. It’s open-knit and inviting, but still framed by freshness and minerality that keep it alive on the finish.
Perfect with roast lamb, duck, or mushroom dishes—or simply to savor on its own. For Bordeaux collectors and Margaux fans, Giscours 2009 is a mature beauty from a golden vintage, drinking at its peak and ready to impress.
