Tasting notes
The 2015 Château d'Issan boasts a deep, vibrant red color, hinting at its impressive intensity. The nose opens with aromas of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant, and cherry, enhanced by subtle notes of cocoa and spice. On the palate, the attack is direct, with silky tannins that coat the palate. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a delicate imprint of fruit and fine oak—a true ode to the richness of the Margaux terroir.

The Château d'Issan vineyard stretches across carefully selected land, where clay-limestone soils play a crucial role in the quality of the grapes. The vines, some decades old, sink their roots deep into this fertile soil, allowing them to express the full richness of their terroir. The oceanic climate of Margaux, with its maritime influences, ensures a slow and even ripening of the grapes, thus promoting a perfect balance between acidity and sugar. This meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard is reflected in the complexity and elegance of the wines produced.
The team's opinion
An elegant and refined Margaux, with precise black fruit, silky tannins and a long, subtly spicy finish.
