Chateau Giscours, Margaux, France 2022

Wine Spectator #1 Wine of the Year 2025

Margaux 2022 is a standout release from this historic Third Growth estate, widely regarded as one of the top successes of the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, supported by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, creating a wine of depth, precision, and classic Margaux elegance. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet, graphite, and subtle spice lead into a layered palate with polished tannins, vibrant freshness, and impressive concentration. The 2022 vintage delivers both power and finesse, with remarkable balance and a long, structured finish. Built for long aging yet already beautifully composed, this is a serious Bordeaux from an estate that continues to rise in quality and reputation. 

James Suckling's #8 Wine of the Year 2025

"Stunning aromas of blackcurrants, dark mushrooms and black cherries with forest-floor notes. Full body that fills your mouth with fine, caressing tannins and dark, flavorful fruit. The tannins are very intense and structural, spreading across the palate in layers and giving intensity and energy. Plenty of energy and verve here. This has gravity, too. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc." James Suckling 98 Points
