Issan 3ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2023

Château d’Issan is one of Margaux’s most historic names, producing a classically elegant Bordeaux with the refinement and perfume the appellation is known for. As a 3ème Grand Cru Classé, the 2023 vintage reflects both the prestige of the estate and the finesse of its Margaux terroir, offering a wine with poise, depth, and excellent cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes
The 2023 Issan is expected to show a deep ruby color with bright purple highlights in youth. On the nose, look for a refined bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, with the floral lift that often defines Margaux. On the palate, it should be medium to full-bodied with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a graceful balance between dark fruit, savory notes, and mineral length. While already appealing in its youth, this is a wine that should develop beautifully over the next 10–20 years, gaining complexity, silkiness, and tertiary nuances with time.

Production
Sourced from the gravelly soils of Margaux, the wine benefits from terroir that promotes excellent drainage and encourages elegance rather than excess weight. The estate typically harvests carefully by parcel and vinifies with a focus on preserving purity, structure, and aromatic precision, followed by aging in oak to integrate texture and add complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, game birds, and dishes with earthy mushroom or truffle accents. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
