Moulin d’Issan Bordeaux Supérieur AOC by Château d’Issan GCC Margaux

The history of Château d’Issan consists primarily of a long list of property transmissions and legacies. By inheritance and marriage, the estate has been handed down from owner to owner, and all of them have contributed in their own way to its renown and helped to forge its unique character. Over a period of nearly three centuries, the estate was passed down along a line involving a number of families with names such as Noailhan, Meyrac, Ségur, Salignac, de la Vergne, Escodeca de Boisse, etc. From 1575 onwards, the property was owned by five generations of the Essenault family, who ended up renaming it, contracting their name to “Issan” and thus Château d’Issan was born.

Moulin d’Issan is a premium, entry-level red wine produced by the renowned Margaux estate Château d’Issan under the Bordeaux Supérieur AOC designation. It is crafted by the very same technical team that manages the estate’s famous Grand Cru Classé. The ruins of the old 17th century windmill, which gave this wine its name, are still in the middle of the vineyard. This wine expresses the richness, the suppleness and the fruit of its origins; it has been on the market since 1988.
