Chateau Giscours, Margaux
Historical chateau producing Premier Cru Classé Margaux
Situated in the heart of the Margaux appellation, this estate has an ideal location. The beautiful chateau and surrounding gardens are home to a B&B.
This estate has a long history which can be traced back as far as the 14th century when it was a defensive tower. In 1522 Pierre de Lhomme, a wealthy Bordeaux draper, bought the house turning it into a vast estate and planting the first vines. In the 19th century the castle was renovated and turned into a stunning neoclassical palace.
Their first wine was classified Grand Cru in 1855, and is made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot varieties. They also produce 3 further red wines and a rosé.
The estate can be visited for tours, tastings and thematic visits. The chateau is now also a B&B.
