    In a few words ...

    The very elegance of grand cru classé wines from the prestigious terroir of margaux. Situated just a few meters from the "route des châteaux", which serves numerous crus from the south of margaux to the north of saint-estèphe, château giscours is best recognized by the magnificent gateway which adorns the entrance to the vineyard. The first traces of vines date back to 1552, and several owners followed one another before the estate was seized as national property during the French revolution. Purchased at auction in 1795 by a group of three men, the property was sold thirty years later to Marc Promissé.

The skawinski family thus left their mark on the history of the Médoc, not only in Margaux but also in Saint Julien, with the later purchase of a majority stake in Léoville Las Cases and the creation of the "Clos du Marquis". Their descendants, bearing the name "delon", are still at the head of this second-growth saint-julien classé, so the skawinski family can be considered as one of the builders of château giscours and léoville las cases.During the Second World War, the vineyard was reduced to 7 hectares and the château was totally destroyed. It was then acquired by a company which quickly sold the estate to the Tari family, who arrived in 1952. The latter finally brought
