2022 Giscours 1571, Margaux (1.5L)

1571 takes its name from the earliest known record of wine produced on the lands of Giscours, in Labarde and Macau, long before the 1855 Classification and the creation of appellations of origin. 1571 will come to life only when the vintage demands it. The 2022 vintage bears the hallmarks of great Cabernet Sauvignon: luscious black fruit, expressiveness and freshness. The palate is round and fleshy, combining body and depth. The estate's signature comes through in an ample mid-palate and precise tannins, with a decidedly instinctive character. Firm structure and textural density give the wine definition without compromising its elegance. The finish is long, liquorice-tinged and full of vitality. Only 6,000 magnums were produced of the 2022 vintage.
