D'Issan
Always a much-loved Margaux estate, Château d’Issan is famed for hosting the wedding of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and dating back to 1152, it is one of the oldest Châteaux in Bordeaux. A string of recent successful vintages has raised the estate's profile once again and it is now recognised as an outstanding value Margaux.

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. |
