The Story
The second wine of Château Giscours — the Margaux Third Growth — in one of Bordeaux's great recent vintages. La Sirène draws on the estate's younger vines and lighter parcels, then is raised with the same hand as the grand vin: long maceration, fifteen months in French barrel. The 2015 vintage delivered exceptional ripeness across Margaux, and La Sirène is a clear beneficiary, offering dark cherry, cedar, and graphite over a medium-bodied, silky frame. A decade on, the tannins are smoothed and the wine is drinking beautifully now, with room to develop further.
