Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Redcurrants, red plums, smoked tobacco, and hints of iron, as well as some floral notes, all emerge from the 2021 Château D'Issan, a medium-bodied, pure, focused, elegant Margaux that shines in the vintage due to its balance and seamlessness. It's already up-front and accessible today yet should have 15 years or more of prime drinking. The blend of the 2021 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, raised in 50% new oak.

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.
