Château d'Issan Margaux 3cc. 2017 0,75l

Château d’Issan is a 3rd Growth estate in Margaux, located just a short distance from the Gironde estuary. Around forty hectares of vines grow on gravel mounds over clay and limestone and are planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are picked by hand, vinified plot by plot and matured in French oak barrels. The bouquet reveals cassis, black cherry and plum with violet, cedar and graphite notes. On the palate Château d’Issan is silky and precise yet powerful, with fine, polished tannins, cool freshness and a long, classically styled Margaux finish.

Ageing in French oak gives this Margaux added elegance while preserving its mineral freshness.

Château d'Issan

On the gravel mounds of the Margaux appellation, close to the estuary, Château d'Issan—Troisième Cru Classé 1855—pursues elegance over spectacle. Its vines sit on well‑draining gravel and alluvial rises, some reaching notable height, that push roots deep and build natural concentration while protecting freshness....
