Issan 3ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2021

Château d’Issan’s 2021 Margaux is a refined Third Growth Bordeaux that reflects the elegance and precision for which the appellation is known. Sourced from one of Margaux’s most historic estates, it offers a classic Left Bank profile with finesse, structure, and a distinctly polished style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful purple highlights. Aromatically, it leans toward blackcurrant, dark cherry, violet, cedar, and subtle graphite, with the kind of floral lift and freshness that Margaux often delivers in cooler vintages. On the palate, expect a medium-bodied wine with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a graceful balance between ripe black fruit, savory spice, and earthy nuances. The finish is usually long and composed, with good aging potential that should reward cellaring over the next decade and beyond.

Production
Château d’Issan is located in the Margaux appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils and a favorable maritime climate help produce wines with aromatic complexity and elegant tannin structure. The estate’s vineyards are traditionally harvested with careful parcel selection, and vinification is carried out with the aim of preserving freshness, precision, and the character of each lot.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if enjoying it young, especially to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften.

Producer
Château d’Issan is one of the historic estates of Margaux and has long held Third Growth classification in the 1855 Bordeaux Wine Official Classification. Known for producing graceful, aromatic, and ageworthy wines, the château enjoys a strong reputation both within Bordeaux and among collectors seeking classic Margaux expression.
