Mature and quietly complex, Chateau d'Issan 2007 offers supple black berry and plum fruit layered with notes of dried herbs, tobacco and a gentle earthy warmth. The palate is medium-bodied with resolved yet still present tannins, giving a savory, satisfying finish that shows this vintage at a graceful plateau of drinkability.

Château d’Issan is the historic grand vin of this Third Growth Margaux estate, drawn from the old vines within the walled “enclos” on deep gravel over clay that yields particularly elegant, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot blends. Typically aged 16–18 months in about 50% new French oak, it is known for its supple, refined tannins, floral Margaux perfume, and a balance of ripeness and freshness that allows it to age gracefully for decades.
