Château d'Issan 2023

A velvety and fresh Margaux red wine

The estate

The Château d’Issan is a Bordeaux wine renowned since the 12th century. This 1855 Grand Cru Classé from Margaux is regaining its nobility thanks to the association of the Lorenzetti family, also owners in Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac, with the Cruse family.

The vineyard

The Château d’Issan 2023 is a Margaux wine from a vineyard of over 50 hectares located on gravelly hills and alluvial hills typical of the appellation.

The vintage

A cold and wet winter precedes a spring whose clemency favours rapid and homogeneous growth. If May and June are dry, July is cool and unstable. August is warmer, as is September. Despite some showers during the harvest, these take place under good conditions and reveal grapes with a beautiful fruity structure.

Vinification and ageing

Vinification of great finesse within state-of-the-art infrastructures. The ageing is carried out in barrels (including 50% new barrels).

Blend

This Château d’Issan 2023 is the result of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (2.5 %) and Petit Verdot (2.5%).
