Great wines sometimes achieve legendary status. When a bottle is named No.1 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator, it becomes one of the most talked-about wines globally. The list is created after tasting thousands of wines and evaluating them based on quality, value, availability, and excitement.
At La Maison du Vin, we are proud to offer not just one, but two wines that have reached the No.1 position in the famous Top 100 ranking.
Château Giscours Margaux 2022
The No.1 Wine of the World
Château Giscours Margaux 2022 is one of the most exciting Bordeaux releases of the decade. This historic Margaux estate, classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, is known for producing wines that combine elegance, perfume, and structure.
The 2022 vintage achieved global recognition when it was named No.1 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator, placing it at the top of the publication’s celebrated Top 100 list.
Tasting profile
The wine shows a deep ruby colour and expressive aromas of cassis, black cherry, violet, and subtle cedar. On the palate it is refined and layered, with silky tannins and flavours of dark berries, plum, and spice. The finish is long, elegant, and balanced, a hallmark of great Margaux wines.

Château Giscours pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as
Roast beef with herbs
Beef Wellington
Herb crusted rack of lamb
Duck breast with cherry sauce
Wild mushroom risotto

Produced by the legendary winemaker Christian Moueix, the estate combines Bordeaux expertise with the exceptional terroir of Napa Valley.
Dominus 2018 is powerful yet perfectly balanced, offering aromas of cassis, plum, violet, and spice. The palate is rich and structured, with dark fruit, elegant tannins, and a long mineral finish.
