Blason D'issan 2nd Vin Du Château D'issan Margaux, 2021

Blason d’Issan is the elegant second wine of Château d’Issan, one of Margaux’s most respected estates, offering a refined Bordeaux expression at a more approachable level. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2021 vintage captures the finesse, perfume, and classic structure that make Margaux so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with a polished, youthful sheen. The nose leans toward blackcurrant, cherry, violet, cedar, and a hint of graphite, with the 2021 vintage likely bringing a fresh, precise aromatic profile. On the palate, expect medium-bodied balance with supple tannins, bright red and dark berry fruit, and the savoury, lightly earthy elegance associated with Margaux. It should drink well in its youth for its freshness and charm, while also having the structure to develop gracefully over the next 5–10 years.

Production
Blason d’Issan comes from the Bordeaux terroir of Margaux, where gravel-rich soils and the tempering influence of the nearby Gironde help Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot ripen slowly and evenly. The fruit is typically harvested by hand and vinified with the aim of preserving purity, freshness, and the estate’s signature finesse, with careful selection ensuring the second wine reflects the quality and style of Château d’Issan.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Manchego. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromas and texture to open up.
