Wine Advocate Tasting Note

The 1990 d'Issan is a light-bodied, fragrant wine with medium ruby color, spicy, sweet berry scents, medium body, moderate tannin, and decent concentration. It is tasty and supple in a light, delicate style. It should have 10-15 years of positive evolution in the bottle. Last tasted 3/95.

About the Producer

Château d'Issan, an illustrious Third Grand Cru Classé, is a jewel of the Margaux appellation in the heart of the Médoc. Its history is intertwined with that of the great wines of Bordeaux, and legend has it that its bottles were served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Today, the Cruse family, in partnership with Jacky Lorenzetti, passionately perpetuates the legacy of this exceptional estate. Emmanuel Cruse embodies the soul of the property, instilling a profound respect for the terroir into every vintage. The wines of Château d'Issan are distinguished by their elegance, finesse, and ability to express the quintessence of Margaux. The style is classic, favoring balance and freshness, resulting in wines of great distinction. Blason d'Issan, the château's second wine, offers a more accessible interpretation of this prestigious appellation. Le Moulin d'Issan and Le Haut-Médoc d'Issan complete the range, bearing witness to the expertise that drives this iconic Left Bank Bordeaux estate. A sure bet in Margaux. The estate works notably with Third Cru appellations, which consistently extend its signature. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château d'Issan, Blason d'Issan, and Moulin d'Issan—useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
