Now with seven years in bottle, here are captivating aromas of spiced plum compote complemented by elegant cedar notes and a rich fruit profile. On the palate, sheer delight: abundant juicy plum and black-cherry flavours articulated by firm tannins and lively acidity, all contributing to a sensual harmony of fruitiness and structure. If ever there were a mature, expressive, classic, everyday claret crying out to go with hearty cuisine, this is it.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (6)

A merlot-based blend with a rich, round body full of clean, lively and ripe cherry and blackcurrants. On the finish the wine lingers with a tinge of spice and very well balanced tannins.

It is so good, count the cases I have bought. (They are all for me).

Peter Batchelor - February 2024

Really good value Bordeaux. Recommended.

Duncan - January 2022

Its great and really good value wine although I am not sure i agree that it is better than the 2015 but still a really easy drinking smooth calret

charles Fortescue - January 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed this wine, especially with roast meat dishes. A good price for a drinkable Bordeaux

Eric - February 2021

Giscours little mermaid punches well above her weight. Its hard to find a rival Bordeaux at this price.

Richard - January 2021

I struggle to find enjoyable Bordeaux at a sensible price but this is brilliant. I have a few bottles of Giscours 2000 which I eek out on special occasions. Never knew they did a 3rd wine and will make this my everyday Bordeaux.

"Made by the winemaking team at Margaux third growth, Château Giscours, this appellation Bordeaux red is 70% Merlot with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Now with five years under its belt, there's a gentle pink rim to the ruby colour and very attractive aromas of spiced plum compote, with some classy cedar and a depth of fruit. A very pleasing wine in the mouth too, lots of juicy plum and black cherry, firm tannins and keen cherry-skin acidity give enough bite and structure, against the suppleness of the fruit."

Tom cannavan, Wine-Pages.com

"We've offered the previous vintage of the 2016 Petite Sirène before and sold out our allocation each time. And little wonder, for it's fantastic value for what is the third wine of Château Giscours, the fabled 3ième Cru of Margaux (and home, incidentally, to the Bordeaux Giscours Cricket Club). With hints of roses on the nose and dark, rounded spicy fruit on the palate, it makes a very easygoing lunch wine."
