The 2022 Vintage
Margaux's Greatest Vintage in Living Memory.
The consensus among the world's top critics is clear: the 2022 vintage was arguably the most successful in the entire history of the Margaux appellation. Across every major estate — from the First Growths to the classified châteaux — 2022 produced wines of historic concentration, freshness, and structural precision that have never been seen together in a single vintage. The numbers and the words speak for themselves.
|
James Suckling
"I have never encountered a Margaux like this — linear, bright, and focused."
Suckling gave the appellation a glowing sweep of reviews, noting that the wines carry a "wild energy" unlike any prior vintage he had assessed.
|
|
Neal Martin — Vinous
"A future North Star for the region."
Martin and Antonio Galloni both highlighted that 2022 pushed estates to produce the finest wines of their respective histories — calling it a generational benchmark for what Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve.
|
|
Wine Spectator — James Molesworth
Château Giscours 2022 named #1 Wine of the Year for 2025.
The most important signal that 2022's quality extended far beyond the First Growths: a classified Margaux château — not Château Margaux itself — earned the single highest distinction in Wine Spectator's global ranking of over 25,000 wines reviewed that year.
|
When the critics unanimously call a vintage historic — and a classified Margaux earns Wine Spectator's #1 wine of the year — the bottles from that vintage become artifacts. You are not buying a bottle of wine. You are buying a piece of Margaux history.

Dear Artisans,
Last time, this sold out before most people got to the bottom of the email.
That is not a figure of speech. We had a limited parcel of 2022 Château Giscours — Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of 2025 — and it was gone in 72 hours.
Then, on a Tuesday afternoon, our contact at the Château called. A small library parcel had freed up. Same wine. In stock. Same price. Direct from the Château, in Original Wood Cases. Not because we were clever — because we have been doing business with them for years, and they thought of us first.
You are receiving this because you are one of our best customers. There are 60 bottles left. When they are gone, they are gone — at any price. |
|
Every Other Retailer Raised Their Price. We Did Not.
The moment Wine Spectator named 2022 Château Giscours the #1 Wine of 2025, something predictable happened across the market: prices went up overnight. Competitors who were selling this wine raised their prices immediately — to $150, to $175, and beyond. That is the standard playbook when a wine receives this kind of recognition.
We did not raise ours. Not by a single dollar.
Our price is identical to what it was the day we first offered this wine — $119.99 per bottle, and $99.99 per bottle on a full case. The exact same pricing we announced before the ranking changed everything. We made a commitment to our customers, and we are honoring it.
|
Competitors — after the announcement
$150–$175
per bottle · often pre-arrival only
|
Artisan Wine — price unchanged
$99.99
per bottle on a case · in stock, ships now
|
This will not happen again. This is our final allocation at original launch pricing. Once this parcel is gone, 2022 Giscours becomes a library wine. Any future replenishment must be sourced from the Château's library at a substantially higher price. The $99.99 case price you see right now is the last time you will see it on this label.
|
Final Pricing Notice
This wine sold out the first time. It will sell out again. When it does, the window to purchase 2022 Giscours at its original price closes permanently. Every future bottle — from us or anyone else — will reflect secondary market and library wine pricing. The only question is whether this wine is in your cellar before the door closes.

The Artisan Provenance Standard
In the digital age, it is easy to find a deal.
It is much harder to find the truth.
If you search for this wine right now, you will find it at other retailers. Look closely. In most cases, what you are seeing is a pre-arrival listing — a promise to ship you a bottle they do not yet physically possess. Some are for stock that has not cleared customs. Others are grey-market bottles that have changed hands two or three times with no documentation of temperature control anywhere in the chain.
Provenance is not just a buzzword. It is the difference between a transcendental experience and vinegar.
When you buy fine wine to lay down in your cellar, you are not making a purchase for today. You are investing in a celebration that might happen ten years from now — a daughter's wedding, a milestone anniversary, a toast you have not planned yet. Imagine waiting a decade to uncork a great wine only to find it undrinkable because it sat in a hot warehouse somewhere in a supply chain nobody tracked. That heartbreak is real, and it happens more than people admit.
At Artisan, we remove that risk entirely.
✓ |
Real inventory. Ships now. No waiting. We do not sell ghost bottles or pre-arrival promises. These wines are physically in our temperature-controlled facility right now, inspected and ready to dispatch. When you order today, you receive the actual bottle — not a future delivery estimate. |
|
✓ |
Certified provenance. Unbroken chain of custody. We source exclusively through certified importers — the same channels used by top Michelin-starred restaurants and leading auction houses. We know exactly where this bottle has been from the moment it left the vineyard to the moment it enters your cellar. That documented chain is your protection. You have full recourse at every step. |
|
✓ |
The Artisan Guarantee — on every bottle. We are not just moving boxes. We are purveyors of fine wine, and we stand behind every bottle we sell. If you ever experience bottle variation — a cork failure, a storage flaw, anything that falls short of what a wine at this level should deliver — bring it back. We will fix it. Period. No fine print. No exceptions. |
|
|
Don't gamble with your future memories. When you put a bottle in your cellar, make sure you trust the hands that held it before yours. Buy from a source that respects the wine as much as you do.

The Investment Case: History Shows Us What Happens Next.
The Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index tracks how the world's wealthiest individuals store value. Over the last decade, fine wine has appreciated 146% — outperforming art, jewelry, watches, and classic cars in that same window.
When a classic Bordeaux ranks in the Top 3 of the Wine Spectator Top 100 and releases under $150, the historical pattern is consistent, decade after decade:

Nobody who bought the 1985 Lynch-Bages at $37 regretted it. The people who regretted it are the ones who thought about it and didn't act. Today, 2022 Giscours is that wine.

Why a Full Case Changes Everything
A full case (12 bottles) unlocks $99.99 per bottle — saving $240 against single-bottle pricing. But the deeper reason to buy a case is the 40-year drinking window.
1. |
The price break. $99.99/bottle on a case vs. $119.99 for 1–5 bottles. $240 saved. You lock in the investment-grade entry price. |
|
2. |
The timeline. Open one bottle every three years. Follow this wine from its cashmere-textured youth through to truffle and leather in the 2040s — a wine you share with your children and grandchildren. |
|
3. |
The auction premium. Sealed Original Wood Cases consistently command higher prices than loose bottles at auction. If you ever choose to sell, you sell from a position of strength. |
