Blason D'issan 2nd Vin Du Château D'issan Margaux, 2023

Blason d’Issan is the second wine of Château d’Issan, one of Margaux’s most respected historic estates, offering an accessible introduction to the elegance and refinement of this famous appellation. The 2023 vintage combines classic Bordeaux structure with the lifted perfume and polished tannins that define Margaux wines, making it a refined choice for those seeking pedigree without the prestige-tier price tag.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby colour with a bright, youthful sheen. The nose is expressive and charming, often revealing ripe blackcurrant, red cherry, violets, subtle cedar, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, with fresh red and black fruit, finely woven tannins, and a balanced line of acidity that keeps the wine lively and elegant. The finish is poised and persistent, with the finesse expected from Margaux. While enjoyable in its youth, it should also develop added complexity over the next 5 to 10 years.

Production
Blason d’Issan is sourced from the vineyards of Château d’Issan in Margaux, where gravel-rich soils and a temperate Atlantic-influenced climate help produce wines with freshness, aromatic lift, and structure. Grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, allowing for careful selection and precision in the blend. Vinification follows classic Bordeaux methods, with fermentation and ageing in oak to preserve fruit purity while adding subtle texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening in its youth, especially to allow the aromas to fully open.

Producer
Château d’Issan is a historic Margaux estate with roots reaching back centuries and a long-standing reputation for producing graceful, classically styled Bordeaux. As the château’s second wine, Blason d’Issan reflects the same commitment to quality and the same celebrated terroir, while offering a more approachable expression of the estate. Its standing in the region is supported by Château d’Issan’s enduring reputation for finesse and consistency.
