Why shop with us?
Blason d’Issan is the second wine of Château d’Issan, one of Margaux’s historic estates, offering a more accessible way to experience the finesse and elegance of this celebrated Left Bank appellation. The 2022 vintage reflects the signature Margaux style—refined, aromatic, and beautifully composed—while delivering the charm and pedigree expected from a grand Bordeaux property.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby hue with youthful purple highlights. The nose is expressive and polished, with notes of ripe blackcurrant, plum, violets, cedar, and a subtle touch of spice and graphite.
On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with supple tannins, bright freshness, and a graceful balance between ripe dark fruit, savory oak accents, and mineral lift. The finish is elegant and persistent, with the structure to develop further over the next several years, though it is already approachable in its youth.
Production
Blason d’Issan comes from vineyards in Margaux and benefits from the estate’s classic Left Bank terroir of gravelly soils over clay and limestone, which help produce wines with finesse, aromatic complexity, and natural freshness. Fruit is carefully selected from the château’s holdings and vinified with the same attention to detail as the grand vin, aiming to preserve purity of fruit and a refined tannic profile.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if opening young to allow the aromas to fully unfold.
Producer
Château d’Issan is one of the historic estates of Margaux, with roots tracing back centuries and a long-standing reputation for producing elegant, classically styled Bordeaux. As the estate’s second wine, Blason d’Issan carries the same family heritage and attention to quality, offering wine lovers a taste of one of the region’s most respected names. The château remains a benchmark for refined Left Bank red Bordeaux.
