Château d'Issan: A Classified Growth of Timeless Elegance

As a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, Château d'Issan stands as a testament to the classic finesse and elegance of Margaux. With a motto rooted in its history of being served to royalty ('For the table of Kings and the altar of Gods'), this Grand Vin is sourced from a prestigious, walled vineyard. The blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is aged to perfection, yielding a wine of incredible structure, silkiness, and cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

• **Appearance:** An intense, deep ruby colour.
• **Aroma:** Highly aromatic, presenting the signature Margaux perfume of violets, blackcurrant, and subtle earthy truffle, underpinned by refined notes of cedar and cigar box spice.
• **Taste:** Silky smooth on the entry. The palate is defined by its elegant, fine-grained tannins and a plush, velvety texture. It boasts a long, fresh, and complex finish, making it a superb wine for laying down.

Serving Suggestion

Decanting is recommended. Serve at 17-18°C alongside traditional Sunday roasts or game dishes to truly appreciate its noble structure.
