    Producer

    Producer

    The Château d'Issan vineyard covers approximately forty hectares, planted on the deep gravel soils typical of Margaux, which provide excellent drainage and optimal grape ripening. The vines dedicated to Blason d'Issan come from younger plots, but are cultivated with the same exacting standards as those of the grand vin. The gravelly soil rests on a clay-limestone base, resulting in a balanced, fresh, and delicately structured wine.

    Owner and history

    Château d'Issan is currently managed by Emmanuel Cruse, from a long line of Bordeaux winegrowers. Since 1998, alongside the Lorenzetti family, he has worked with passion to promote this Grand Cru Classé. Committed to sustainable viticulture and respectful of the terroir, they have modernized the facilities while preserving tradition. The Issan coat of arms reflects this desire to offer an authentic, accessible, and high-quality Margaux.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking at Château d'Issan follows a rigorous plot-by-plot method with fermentations in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit.
    The 2019 Blason d'Issan is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately 12 months, with one-third new oak, adding complexity without masking the purity of the fruit. This meticulous care results in a harmonious wine, both luscious and refined, ready to drink after a few years of cellaring.
