Vignoble de 83 ha bordé de 300 ha de prairies et de forêts, un lieu idéal pour une visite dégustation ou un pique-nique au parc
Le château Giscours, un des grands noms du vin à Margaux (3e grand cru classé), reflète à merveille l'art de vivre en Médoc, entre pierres de taille blondes et jardin émeraude. Les 83 ha du vignoble sont entourés de 300 ha de prairies et de forêts. Des visites-dégustation et des pique-niques sont organisés dans les chais et dans le parc. Pour profiter pleinement du cadre somptueux du château, testez le restaurant gastronomique La Table de Giscours pour des repas privés, ou les chambres d'hôtes haut de gamme avec vue sur les vignes.

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.
