Château d’Issan Margaux Grand Cru Classé AOC

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…

The 2020 vintage is a fine expression of the quintessential Margaux terroir. This particular vintage marks a historic milestone for the estate as the first to incorporate fruit from newly acquired plots of Château Pontac Lynch, expanding the blend to five distinct grape varieties.
