Structure and purity define Château d’Issan 2023, a deeply colored Margaux with layered blackcurrant and cassis fruit lifted by hints of raspberry, citrus peel, dried herbs and subtle florals. The palate is compact and concentrated yet refined, with fine, chalk‑tinged tannins and a cool, graphite line that keeps the generous dark fruit focused through a long, sapid finish. This is a more muscular, serious d’Issan that will reward patience while staying true to the estate’s classical elegance.

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.
