Issan 3ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux - Double Magnum 3L, 2021

Château d’Issan’s 2021 Margaux is a refined expression of one of Bordeaux’s historic Third Growth estates, known for combining elegance, perfume, and finesse. Sourced from the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, it reflects the classic left-bank style: poised, layered, and built with quiet confidence.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby hue with bright youthful highlights. The nose typically leans toward fragrant blackcurrant, red cherry, violet, cedar, and subtle graphite, with a delicate touch of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine is usually medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, offering polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, graceful finish that should develop further complexity with time. As a 2021 vintage, it is likely more about precision and freshness than sheer power, making it especially appealing for those who enjoy classic Margaux character. While already enjoyable with proper aeration, it has the structure to age well over the medium to long term, gaining additional nuance over the next decade or more.

Production
Château d’Issan is based in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, where gravel-rich soils and a temperate Atlantic-influenced climate help shape wines with aromatic lift and elegant tannin structure. Harvesting is typically done parcel by parcel to preserve freshness and ripeness, followed by careful vinification in the estate’s cellars to emphasize purity of fruit and balance. As with many classified Bordeaux estates, the focus is on expressing terroir through precise vineyard selection and thoughtful élevage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or mushroom-based cuisine. It also works well with aged cheeses and truffle-accented dishes. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

Producer
Château d’Issan is one of the historic names of Margaux and holds the prestigious status of Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The estate has long been associated with producing elegant, classically styled wines that reflect the refinement of the appellation. Over time, it has earned a strong reputation among Bordeaux collectors and enthusiasts for consistency, charm, and pedigree.
