83 ha großer Weinberg, der von 300 ha Wiesen und Wäldern gesäumt wird. Ein idealer Ort für eine Weinprobe oder ein Picknick im Park
Das Château Giscours, einer der großen Namen in Margaux (3. Grand Cru Classé), spiegelt die Lebensart im Médoc zwischen blonden Quadersteinen und einem smaragdgrünen Garten perfekt wider. Die 83 ha des Weinbergs sind von 300 ha Wiesen und Wäldern umgeben. In den Weinkellern und im Park werden Besichtigungen mit Verkostung und Picknicks organisiert. Um die prächtige Umgebung des Schlosses voll und ganz zu genießen, testen Sie das Gourmetrestaurant La Table de Giscours für private Mahlzeiten oder die hochwertigen Gästezimmer mit Blick auf die Weinberge.

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.
