Producer Profile

Chateau Giscours

The first written reference for Giscours dates from 1330, citing the sale of a fortified keep, while records of vines date from 1552, making it one of the earliest in the Medoc (which as a whole was significantly later to the winemaking game than Saint Emilion or Graves, not really getting going until the 16th century). Classified a Third Growth in 1855, today Giscours has 83 hectares of vines, spread across the communes of Arsac and Labarde, and set over three gravelly slopes, two reaching up to 20 metres, and a third to 17 metres.

There is a distinctly Dutch influence at the estate. Alexander Van Beek has headed up the team since 1995 (he was just 24 when he was offered the job, fresh from an MBA in Geneva – although he did not become director until 1997). Owner Eric Albada Jelgersma is a Dutch food entrepreneur based who divides his time between Bordeaux and Belgium. Besides a further wine property in Tuscany, Jelgersma owns a second Margaux property, Chateau du Tertre, five minutes from Giscours. For the last few years, the winemaking team has been completely separate to ensure that each chateau receives absolute focus – with Van Beek overseeing both.

At Giscours, the wine is made in a mix of stainless steel and concrete vats, sized according to the vineyard plots. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, about 50% new each year, and traditional egg white fining is carried out. Second wine is La Sirene de Giscours, and the team also produces also La Haut Medoc du Giscours. The vineyard is planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, producing a modern-style Margaux full of plump fruit, richly-textured.
