Why shop with us?
Château d’Issan’s 2019 Margaux is a classic expression of one of Bordeaux’s most elegant appellations, combining precision, perfume, and the refined structure expected from a 3ème Grand Cru Classé. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, it offers a beautifully balanced style that reflects both the property’s long history and the exceptional quality of the 2019 vintage.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the wine is poised and refined, with an inviting bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, violet, cedar, and delicate spice. There is a graceful lift to the aromatics, with subtle notes of graphite and tobacco adding complexity.
On the palate, it is sleek and layered, showing ripe dark berries, fine tannins, and fresh acidity that brings clarity and length. The finish is polished and persistent, with the structure to age well over the next 10 to 20 years, likely gaining even more nuance and harmony with time.
Production
Produced in Margaux, in the Bordeaux region of France, this wine benefits from the appellation’s gravelly soils, which encourage excellent drainage and help Cabernet Sauvignon achieve ripeness and finesse. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot is vinified to preserve purity of fruit, freshness, and the château’s hallmark elegance.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef fillet, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if enjoying it young, to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
Producer
Château d’Issan is one of the historic estates of Margaux, with a reputation that dates back centuries. Classified as a 3ème Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it remains an important name in Bordeaux for its consistency, finesse, and classic Left Bank style, with wines that are admired for their balance, perfume, and aging potential.
