Blason d’Issan is the second wine of Château d’Issan, one of the historic names of Margaux, offering a refined introduction to the elegance of this famed Bordeaux appellation. The 2021 vintage reflects the estate’s classic style with freshness, balance, and a more approachable expression of its grand vin character.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Margaux shows a deep ruby color with bright garnet reflections. The nose is typically layered and lifted, with aromas of dark cherry, cassis, violets, and subtle cedar or graphite notes, all framed by a refined earthy nuance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and polished, with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a harmonious core of red and black fruit. The finish tends to be graceful and persistent, making it enjoyable in its youth while still having the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 5 to 10 years.
Production
Produced in Margaux on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the wine draws from gravel-rich soils that help deliver finesse, aromatic purity, and elegant tannins. The 2021 vintage was shaped by careful vineyard work and selective harvesting to preserve freshness and precision, followed by traditional vinification and aging in French oak to add texture without overpowering the fruit.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, or herb-crusted poultry. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromas to खुल fully.
