The appearance of the Giscours property dates from the 14th century. The vines were planted when Pierre de Lhomme, a famous clothier from Bordeaux, acquired the property. During the French Revolution, the property falls into the public domain and will wait until 1847 to be bought by Jean-Pierre Pesratore, a Parisian banker. He allowed the estate to be modernized. The Tari family took over and continued the work between 1952 and 1995. The vineyard was enlarged and the infrastructure was modified and modernized. In 1995, the estate was sold to the Dutchman Eric Albada Jelgersma. He encouraged the restoration of the vineyard and the buildings in order to ensure the image of this Third Grand Cru Classé.
