在被稱為是「波爾多葡萄酒“聖經”」的著名酒書「Cocks et Féret-波爾多城堡百科全書」中,有提到法王路易14國王非常喜歡Château Giscours的葡萄酒,因此常伴君王左右。而酒莊的歷史可以遠溯至1330年,此後經歷過多次所有權易主,不過沒能逃過1789年法國大革命時期被沒收充公的命運,之後曾由巴黎大銀行家Count of Pescatore接手,當時為迎接拿破侖三世的妻子烏婕妮皇后(Empress Eugenie)的光臨,曾於1847年重建莊園,許多建築仍保留至今。在1855年的分級制中,Château Giscours被列級為三級酒莊,不過由於當時的莊主不夠重視品質,酒莊開始走下坡路。
Wine Spectator 95
Subtle and pretty on the nose, with blueberry, blackberry and hints of flowers. Full and very fine, showing a beautiful texture of polished tannins. Wonderfully long and balanced. 53 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 percent Cabernet Franc, and the rest is Merlot.

The finest Giscours in my professional career (I said the same thing from barrel), this dense purple wine has a stunning nose of burning embers, charcoal, creme de cassis, new saddle leather and damp, forest floor notes. It is full-bodied, with exceptionally sweet, well-integrated tannins and a multi-dimensional, almost skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. With its low acidity and remarkable substance and depth, this gorgeous wine should age beautifully for 20-30 years.
