					<description><![CDATA[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...

This exceptional 2022 vintage can be characterised by intense fruit nuances, balance, depth of aromatics, and definition of tannins, presented in a particularly bright and vibrant colour, with magnificent concentration and refined power. The Cabernets and the Malbec are once again remarkable - giving this new opus a unique signature.

Blason d’Issan, the second wine, was introduced from 1995 onwards to enable selection amongst our vines growing in the Margaux appellation area. Fruit from the youngest vines is used to produce this wine, which respects the identity of its terroir, while offering a tasty round fruitiness, which can be enjoyed earlier.

Full of surprises, the profile of the 2021 vintage so far shows similarities with 2014. A sign of an excellent Cabernet vintage, the first tastings revealed a true balance between the density and elegance of the tannins.
