Chateau d'Issan Margaux, 3rd Grand cru classé de Medoc 0,75ltr
The story of Château d'Issan cannot be told without mentioning that the first wine transaction in the history of Bordeaux took place here. It concerns a transaction between the British crown of Henry III and the Seigneuries de Cantenac (part of which would become d'Issan). The estate is a step back in time with its turrets, battlements and moat. History drips from it.
Tasting Notes 93/100 James Suckling
“This is so delicious now with plum, chocolate and hazelnut character. Full bodied, layered and yummy. Round tannins are so integrated. Really hard not to drink now. So why not? Second wine of Chateau d'Issan.” -James Suckling
“Fresh and penetrating aroma. Luscious texture. Doesn't taste like a second wine! Just a little stodgy on the finish.” – Jancis Robinson
