Chateau d'Issan 2019 Margaux

Chateau d’Issan 2019 is a glorious wine with typically floral and violet notes behind the wonderfully ripe black fruit. The fruit is almost sappy with plum and sweet berry notes on the palate along with pepper, cocoa and coffee. It is a charming and perfumed wine with an elegant structure and one which will continue to age well in bottle.

Chateau d’Issan is a beautiful 18th century Chateau (complete with moat) that is often cited as one of the most romantic Chateaus in Bordeaux. The vineyards cover 52 hectares and are planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. The wines are rich, silky and a little heady in hot vintages but are always well textured and elegant. The Chateau is one of the best performing Margaux estates and well deserves its 3rd growth classification. Blason d’Issan is the 2nd wine from the estate and is always amazing value.
