CHÂTEAU GISCOURS
Cómo llegar y contactar
Un viñedo de 83 hectáreas bordeado por 300 hectáreas de prados y bosques, un lugar ideal para una excursión con cata de vinos o un picnic en el parque
Château Giscours, uno de los grandes nombres del vino de Margaux(3er Grand Cru Classé), es un reflejo perfecto del arte de vivir en el Médoc, con sus muros de piedra rubia y sus jardines esmeralda. Las 83 hectáreas de viñedos están rodeadas por 300 hectáreas de prados y bosques. Se organizan degustaciones y picnics en la bodega y los jardines. Para disfrutar al máximo del suntuoso entorno del castillo, pruebe el restaurante gastronómico La Table de Giscours para comidas privadas, o las lujosas habitaciones de huéspedes con vistas a los viñedos.

Our guide, Michael Sanders, was both entertaining and knowledgeable, having worked at the winery for over a decade. Some highlights of the tour included their gravity-fed processing system and the circa 1950s cement containers used in their winemaking process. These mid-century tanks are slated for replacement with updated cement containers once the restaurant and hotel renovations are complete. However, if you visit before the upgrades are finished, this glimpse into winemaking history is well worth seeing.
Michael guided us through a vertical tasting of two Grand Cru Classé wines and an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wine. The wines were excellent, showcasing classic Left Bank hallmarks with a surprising brightness for their age. The tasting highlighted the depth and balance characteristic of this region’s wines.
As an added surprise, Michael revealed another talent—he’s a practicing magician! We weren’t aware of it beforehand, but Château Giscours offers a magic-based wine-tasting experience led by Michael. While we didn’t book this unique option, Michael treated us to several magic tricks since it was a quiet day. This unexpected twist added a layer of fun and novelty to our visit, making it one of the most memorable tastings we’ve ever had. The combination of wine and magic, despite what may seem to be an ostensible incongruity, worked surprisingly well to enhance the overall experience.
The entire experience lasted nearly two hours and was thoroughly enjoyable. One other noteworthy aspect: we visited during the off-season and had difficulty finding a taxi afterward. Michael went above and beyond, calling a contact he had at a local cab company to ensure we made our train back to Bordeaux. This exceptional customer service may well have saved us from scrambling for last-minute lodging in the French countryside—a gesture we deeply appreciated.
Château Giscours offers a combination of history, hospitality, and unique touches like Michael’s magic, that make it well worth the visit.
