Description

A Delicate and Aromatic Second Wine from the Margaux Appellation

The estate

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

The vineyard

The 59-hectare vineyard of Château d’Issan extends over three appellations. The majority is cultivated on the gravelly hills and alluvial hills of Margaux.

The wine

Blason d’Issan is the Second Wine of Château d’Issan.

The vintage

The mildness of the 2020 winter, recorded as the warmest since the beginning of the 20th century, leads to an early bud break of the vine. If the sunshine and mildness of March and April favor a rapid flowering, the end of spring is very rainy. The month of July, dry and sunny, is marked by the beginning of veraison on July 7. The rainy episodes in mid-August do not impact the vigor and health of the vineyard. The conditions of the late season are ideal, notably thanks to a beautiful thermal amplitude beneficial for refining the maturities and achieving the optimal balance of the beautifully concentrated grapes.

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand, the grapes are delicately transported to the gravity-fed vat room where parcel-by-parcel vinifications are carried out in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. The aging is carried out in barrels (of which 50% are new barrels).

Blend

Merlot (57%), cabernet sauvignon (40%) and petit verdot (3%).
