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
2011 is a superb vintage, thanks to improving weather after the atypical spring and meticulous care in the vineyard during sorting, and in the cellar.
It’s a worthy successor to 2009 & 2010 and very much in the same line, exhibiting elegance, grace and balance with mature fruit, fine tannins, and a beautiful structure.
The purity is remarkable, with
an exhilarating freshness and the silky texture which is hallmark of Margaux.
