Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Cassis, black cherries, smoky tobacco, graphite, and a chalky minerality all shine from the 2025 Château D'Issan, a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot that's being raised in 50% new barriques with the balance in once-used barrels. Reminding me slightly of the 2016 with its balance and elegance, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It builds beautifully with time in the glass, and checking in at 13.73% alcohol with a pH of 3.63, this is going to be an incredibly satisfying, classic, complex Margaux that exudes class and elegance.

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.
