Another delicious and great-value Haut-Médoc from the Giscours team. Perfumed and scented on the nose with liquorice and blackcurrants. Juicy and alive, supple and smooth on the palate. Lots of life and energy with a sleek, silky frame and such purity of expression. Crystalline, bright and so appealing. Very easy to drink with cool blue fruit touches, mouthwatering acidity and a minty, crushed stone freshness. A beautiful, delicate and finessed expression with such succulence and nuance. 3.70pH. A yield of 27hl/ha. Ageing 12 months, in barrels.

The 2022 Haut-Médoc de Giscours is a gorgeous, wonderfully inviting wine. Cinnamon, orange peel, cedar, white pepper, mint and chalk add lovely aromatic dimension. This is the first vintage with a dollop of Cabernet Franc in the blend, which really seems to open the aromatics. Time in the glass brings out the wine's fleshiness. This gracious, silky Haut-Médoc is an absolute delight.

A fruit-expressive Haut-Medoc with ripe, fresh and bright red berries from this dry and hot vintage. Generous and medium-bodied on the palate, showing lovely fluidity and firmness without any heaviness. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot and 6% cabernet franc. Already appealing but better in two more years. Drink from 2027.
