About
1855 Grand Cru Classe – 3rd Growth.
The history of Chateau Giscours dates back to the 14th century.
The first vines were planted after 1552, when a rich cloth merchant, Pierre de Lhomme, bought the noble house of “Guyscoutz“.
The golden age of the chateau was the 19th century when the castle underwent a transformation into a neoclassical palace and a beautiful park was set around the chateau.
When at the chateau, besides tasting excellent wines, you can visit Ferme Suzanne housing some Bordeaux breed cows.
