Château d'Issan 2018

Château d’Issan, a 3ème Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, is one of the most traditional estates of the Médoc. The picturesque fortified château lies in the heart of Margaux, surrounded by gravel-rich soils over limestone and clay that provide perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The terroir allows particularly fine, velvety and aromatically complex wines with floral notes, deep fruit and typical Margaux elegance. Modern precision in the cellar meets centuries of vineyard experience. The result is long-lived, harmonious wine that ranks among the most stylistically beautiful in the appellation.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
