Fantastic tour & tasting a Chateau Giscours

Our Attendant, “Eva”, was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Her English was very good and we were therefore able to gain so much information from her about the history of Chateau Giscours as well as about the vineyards and wine making. The wines were very balanced with soft tannins, acid, & flavors/aromas. Each wine was lovely with finesse.
