Château d’Issan: The Quintessential Margaux Third Growth

Château d’Issan, a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, is a true icon of the Margaux appellation, renowned for its elegance and aristocratic finesse. Its legendary past includes being served at the table of royalty (hence its motto: ‘For the table of Kings and the altar of Gods’). Crafted from a historic, walled vineyard (clos), this Grand Vin is a noble blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, meticulously aged to ensure outstanding complexity and longevity.

Tasting Profile

• **Color:** A deep, brilliant ruby with great intensity.
• **Nose:** An exquisite, classic Margaux bouquet with pronounced notes of violet, ripe blackcurrant, truffle, and subtle hints of cedar and tobacco from careful oak aging.
• **Palate:** The entry is silky and enveloping. The tannins are remarkably fine-grained and polished, leading to a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, suggesting significant aging potential.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

Serve between 62-64°F (17-18°C). This wine is the ultimate partner for luxury dining, particularly rich, savory dishes and prime cuts of beef.
