Important details from the source

• With COMO Cordeillan-Bages acting as a geographical and experiential hub, guests can travel south by bicycle or chauffeured tour through Margaux’s refinement or north into St-Estèphe’s rugged authority.
• With roots dating back to the 14th century and classified as a Troisième Cru Classé in 1855, Château Giscours embodies the elegance and finesse for which the Margaux appellation is known.
• Today, Giscours is held up in particular for its admirable approach to sustainability in the vineyard.
• It’s a philosophy that is evident throughout the property’s extensive grounds, which are home to all manner of biodiversity, including gardens, vegetable plots and animals.
• The ‘Life at Giscours’ tour covers all this and more, including a bespoke selection of wines and options for charcuterie accompaniments.
• A fellow fifth growth based in Pauillac, for years that was about the only thing Château Pedesclaux had in common with Lynch-Bages.
• The property was somewhat neglected by previous owners – but then it was snapped up by the ambitious real-estate tycoon (and rugby kingpin) Jacky Lorenzetti (also part-owner of third growth Château d’Issan in Margaux).
• Canny vineyard acquisitions and a modernisation of both château and cellar have seen quality rocket, and the contemporary makeover of the classical château façade is an apt indicator of its rebirth.
• Various different tours are available according to the extent of your interest and wallet, with the ‘Millésimes’ version involving a tasting of five different vintages.
• Sister property Lafon-Rochet, in St-Estèphe, offers a similar programme at the more understated but supremely good-value estate in the northernmost commune of the Médoc.
