Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）坐落於法國波爾多的Margaux產區。在Medoc 1855分級中，Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）被評為三級莊。因其酒款酒標上有一條端莊典雅的金色美人魚，人們親切地將這個酒莊稱為“美人魚城堡”。

同眾多法國知名酒莊一樣，Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）也有著悠久的歷史，最早可遠溯至14世紀，那時莊園只是荒原上的一個防禦塔。1552年，富有的波爾多布商Pierre de Lhomme買下了這塊園地，種下了第一批葡萄藤。在接下來的幾個世紀裏，之後的城堡繼承者們都對葡萄酒的生產以及酒莊建築的修建做出一定貢獻。

19世紀時，在Pescatore 和Cruse家族的大力推動下，Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）開始嶄露頭角。酒莊的城堡被改建成新古典主義風格，漂亮且宏大，著名園林設計師Eugene Bulher在此栽種了稀有樹種。此外，酒莊還新建了大量的莊園建築物，對其生產設備也進行了現代化的改造。跟酒莊的輝煌建築相匹配，酒莊葡萄酒的聲譽也日漸響亮，在1855年，Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）被評為三級莊。受世界大戰和經濟下滑的影響，Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）一度陷入低迷期。1995年，荷蘭商人Eric Albada Jelgersma接手了酒莊。秉持著使酒莊恢復昔日風采的信念，Eric Albada Jelgersma投入大量精力，對酒莊進行了諸多現代化革新，酒莊漸獲新生，迎來了復興和現代化發展的新篇章。

Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）的葡萄園面積約為94公頃，種植著60% Cabernet Sauvignon、32% Merlot、5% Cabernet Franc和3% Petit Verdot，其中約33%的葡萄樹樹齡超過25年。葡萄園的土壤為瑪歌產區典型的沖積礫石和砂土土壤，其中礫石起著至關重要的作用，不僅可以反射太陽光，在夜間使葡萄園保持穩定的溫度，而且該土壤排水性能良好，為葡萄的成熟提供了理想的條件。溫和的氣候是另一個有利因素。這些因素在一起構成微妙的平衡，使得葡萄園的風土十分有利於葡萄樹的生長和果實的成熟。

Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）採用傳統的釀造工藝，釀制出的葡萄酒別有一番風味。酒莊在釀制正牌酒——美人魚城堡紅葡萄酒（Chateau Giscours, Margaux, France）時，會先將葡萄置於控溫的水泥罐和不銹鋼大桶中發酵約18-28天，發酵溫度為26℃-28℃，壓榨會同時採用水準氣囊式壓榨和垂直機械壓榨，發酵後的酒液會在法國橡木桶中陳釀15-18個月，新桶比例為50%，期間每3個月會進行一次倒罐，最後會用蛋清澄清酒液。

Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）的主要酒款有正牌酒——Chateau Giscours、La Sirene de Giscours和Le Rose de Giscours等。其中，Chateau Giscours紅葡萄酒以細膩柔美的口感著稱，其色澤深沉而濃厚，酒香複雜，單寧圓滑柔軟，非常優雅美妙。

After initial tastings suggested there was too much tannin, the wine has undergone a welcome transformation. It has become powerful and ripe, deliciously sumptuous, allying the tannins with densely ripe, sweet black fruits. It keeps its sense of balance, but all this density gives aging potential.

Tasted at the Château Giscours vertical, the 2006 Château Giscours is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot picked between September 21 and October 9. It has been several years since I last tasted this vintage and the aromatics have evolved well, now offering quite plush redcurrant, strawberry and ferrous scents that are nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, savory in the mouth with dried blood, rosemary and sage notes towards the finish. I like the depth here, the cohesion and length. It might not be the most flamboyant recent Giscours, however in the context of the vintage, this is certainly a commendable wine that is beginning to deliver on its promise. Tasted June 2015.

Crushed blackberry, with hints of rose and lightly stewed fruits. Full-bodied, with a beautiful core of fruit and velvety tannins. The finish is long and beautiful. This is beautifully crafted. Best after 2013

Dark and structured, this is a firm wine. It has a smoky wood character, powerful tannins over intensely ripe fruit. Acidity and sweetness balance to give a dense wine, powered with richness and destined to age for many years.

The finest Giscours in my professional career (I said the same thing from barrel), this dense purple wine has a stunning nose of burning embers, charcoal, creme de cassis, new saddle leather and damp, forest floor notes. It is full-bodied, with exceptionally sweet, well-integrated tannins and a multi-dimensional, almost skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. With its low acidity and remarkable substance and depth, this gorgeous wine should age beautifully for 20-30 years.

This powerful, yet well-structured Margaux has a lot of positive cabernet sauvignon character (cassis, ripe plum) for the appellation. Long, very clean positive finish.

This is alluring, with lots of incense, warm espresso and roasted mesquite notes leading the way for a sleek core of mouthwatering black currant and blackberry fruit. The long finish lets the mesquite edge linger, with well-embedded grip. Rock-solid. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2014 through 2029.

The 2009 Giscours has a generous and complex bouquet with well definedblackberry, cedar, mocha and light ferrous notes, more like a Saint-Julienthan Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, fresh andvibrant with curry leaf and graphite. A dash of white pepper pops uptowards the finish. This is a very fine Giscours to enjoy over the next 15 to20 years. Tasted at Bl Wines & Spirits' Ten Year On tasting.

Giscours shows an initial character of great style and elegance. The shining fruit and concentrated tannins follow, making it both a seductive wine and one with a long-term future.

Aromas of mint and currants with hints of fresh herbs. Then turns to plum jam. Full body, with well-integrated tannins and pretty fruit. Long and caressing. This is really outstanding.

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Giscours slips seductively out of the glass with notions of baked black cherries, mulberries and plum preserves plus hints of cassis, pencil lead and dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is toting a fair amount of oak with a sturdy frame of chewy tannins, coming through with a long, fruity finish.

🏅Wine Spectator 94 pts

Features a lightly firm, singed alder frame around a core of dark plum, cherry and cassis bush notes. Taut tar and warm paving stone notes fill in on the finish. Shows serious, well-embedded grip, and the core of fruit is spot on. This has the range, length and cut for the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2030.
