Chateau d’Issan sits in the middle of the Margaux appellation, a truly privileged location. It is a Third Growth of the 1855 Imperial Classification. The wine is made from old vines and is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot. It’s supple, subtle, and elegant with long keeping potential. Spends 16 to 18 months in barrels, half of which are new. JS94: Complex aromas of sweet tobacco, chocolate, cedar and plums. Undertones of blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Dense and tight with a beautifully and tightly knit palate, yet this shows so much intensity and length. Love the wet-earth and berry character on the finish. Give this three to four years to soften even if it’s fantastic already to taste.
