Blason D'issan 2nd Vin Du Château D'issan Margaux - Magnum 1,5L, 2023

Blason d’Issan is the elegant second wine of Château d’Issan, one of Margaux’s most respected estates, now offered here in a generous 1.5L magnum from the 2023 vintage. Crafted with the finesse and balance that define Margaux, it offers a more approachable expression of the château’s style while still carrying the pedigree of a historic Bordeaux property.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Blason d’Issan typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful vibrancy. The nose is expected to be refined and expressive, with notes of dark berries, black cherry, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, reflecting the classic aromatic lift of Margaux. On the palate, it is likely to be medium to full-bodied with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a silky texture. The finish should be graceful and persistent, with enough structure to age well over the medium term. A magnum format can also support a slower, more harmonious evolution in bottle.

Production
Blason d’Issan comes from Château d’Issan in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, where gravelly soils and a temperate Atlantic-influenced climate help produce wines of fragrance, finesse, and balance. As the château’s second wine, it is generally made from younger vines and lots selected to highlight immediate charm and drinkability while maintaining the estate’s house style. Harvesting is typically carried out parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with careful sorting to preserve fruit purity. Vinification follows traditional Bordeaux methods, with fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks and aging in oak barrels to add structure, complexity, and subtle spice without overpowering the wine’s freshness.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, filet of beef, mushroom-based dishes, and aged hard cheeses. For the best expression, serve it at around 16–18°C. Decanting for about 30–60 minutes is recommended if drinking young, especially to allow the aromatic profile to open fully.

Producer
Château d’Issan is a historic Margaux estate with origins dating back several centuries and a long-standing reputation for producing wines of elegance and refinement. Blason d’Issan serves as the château’s second label, giving wine lovers a chance to enjoy the estate’s classic Bordeaux character in a more immediately accessible style. Over the years, the property has earned recognition as one of the benchmark producers in Margaux.
