2015 Château d'Issan, Margaux
2015 Château d'Issan, Margaux
Ref: BORD1584
Issan is among the oldest properties in Bordeaux. One of its many claims to fame is that its wine was served at the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henri Plantagenet (later Henry II of England). The name of the property is derived from a archaic spelling of its owners in the 17th to 19th centuries: the d’Essenault family. M d’Essenault was a member of parliament and he renovated the vineyards and built the château we see today. Issan was bought by the Cruse family in 1945 in a somewhat dilapidated state. The Cruse family replanted and updated facilities and thoroughly modernised Issan. A 50% stake in Issan was sold to M Lorenzetti - owner of Lilian Ladouys and Pedesclaux - in 2012.

Tasting Notes
"The 2015 d'Issan is broodier on the nose than its peers and demands more coaxing, eventually revealing black fruit laced with tar and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a keen line of acidity, but does not quite deliver enough complexity and personality toward the finish, implying that it has closed down in recent months. Wait for this wonderful Margaux to reach its plateau, because it is a very great wine." Neal Martin

Sweetness
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
