D'Issan
Chateau d’Issan is one of the oldest in the Medoc with a history stretching back to the 1400s. With a moat, drawbridge and courtyard, this Margaux property is a classified historic monument. The wines quality has dramatically increased since appointing Emmanuel Cruse in 1997.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95+)The 2015 d'Issan is a total knock-out. Spectacularly ripe and intense, the 2015 exudes richness in all of its dimensions. Super-ripe dark plum, lavender, spice, savory herbs, iron, smoke and new leather add myriad shades of nuance to this super-ripe, decidedly hedonistic Margaux. A powerful, dense wine, the 2015 is going to need a number of years before it is close to being ready to drink. I was quite impressed with d'Issan both times I tasted it. The 2015 has really come along nicely. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, aged in 50% new oak. Eric Boissenot consults. |

James Suckling (96-97)This is so energetic for a young d’Issan with lots of white pepper, crushed stones and blackberries. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and great length. One of the greatest ever. Superb depth and intensity to this real Bordeaux. Wow. |
