Elaboration of Château Giscours 2008
Château Giscours 2008 (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot)
TASTING NOTES:
- Vista: Dark fruit slightly out of here.
- Nose: The palate is fresh, crisp and stone extraction with a bit chewy tannins.
- Palate: Light texture, good acid, giving this fresh and defined style. There is a long, juicy finish and undoubtedly force. This could be a good reason.
GRAPES: 4% Cabernet Franc, 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot
How to serve
The Winery
Château Giscours
The first written reference to the domain of Giscours, a deed confirming the sale of the Estate for 1,000 Pounds, dates from 1330 and refers to a fortified keep. Records of Giscours' vineyards go back to 1552. Giscour's early reputation for fine wine became increasingly apparent as time went on. A century later, Giscours charmed the palate of the "Roi Soleil" Louis the 14th, who is said to have had a particular inclination for the wine.
