Chateau Giscours Le Haut-Medoc de Giscours 2022
The 2022 is an exceptional vintage that has brought out all the facets of the personality of these vines. For the first time, cabernet franc is included in the blend and brings spicy notes. The 2022 vintage has an opulent nose of black fruits. The mouth is full of freshness and gourmandize. Haut-Médoc Giscours 2022 has the emblematic character of Giscours’ wines: structure, aromatic brilliance and fine tannins.
Critical Acclaim
90 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Le Haut-Médoc De Giscours from this terrific estate has a pure, medium-bodied, nicely concentrated yet elegant profile with lots to love. The fruits lean toward the blue/black end of the spectrum, and it has some leafy, tobacco notes, fine tannins, and a good finish. I’d happily drink a bottle.
92 Vinous
The 2022 Haut-Médoc de Giscours is a gorgeous, wonderfully inviting wine. Cinnamon, orange peel, cedar, white pepper, mint and chalk add lovely aromatic dimension. This is the first vintage with a dollop of Cabernet Franc in the blend, which really seems to open the aromatics. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s fleshiness. This gracious, silky Haut-Médoc is an absolute delight.
92 James Suckling
A fruit-expressive Haut-Medoc with ripe, fresh and bright red berries from this dry and hot vintage. Generous and medium-bodied on the palate, showing lovely fluidity and firmness without any heaviness. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot and 6% cabernet franc. Already appealing but better in two more years. Drink from 2027.
