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…

A sign of an excellent Cabernet vintage, the first tastings revealed a true balance between the density and elegance of the tannins. Full of surprises, the profile of the 2021 vintage so far shows similarities with 2014.
