Description
Château d'Issan is a Third Growth of the 1855 Imperial Classification. The wine is made from the old vines in the Château d'Issan enclosure in the middle of the Margaux appellation.
The soil here is mainly made up of surface gravel on top of a clay subsoil, which contributes to optimal ripeness and freshness in our two grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Château d'Issan expresses the exquisite bouquet so characteristic of Margaux, and stands out with its suppleness, subtlety, elegance and long keeping potential that come from its unique terroir.

Tasting
Delicacy and distinction come together in this aromatic bouquet that fuses crimson flowers, crisp black fruits and hints of tobacco leaves. A refined elegance permeates the glass, carried by silky tannins, revealing a body that is both delicate and powerful, with a measured strength that caresses the palate. The particularly sophisticated finish is remarkably easy to digest, punctuated by a subtle saline note.
