Origin and background
The 2016 vintage at Margaux benefited from a hot, dry summer followed by a cool autumn, providing ideal conditions for slow, complete ripening. Château d'Issan, on a gravelly terroir typical of Margaux, offers an elegant, balanced and complex wine, true to the refined style of the estate.
Tasting
Colour: Deep red with purple highlights.
Nose: Complex and fine. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (cherry), delicate floral notes (violet), sweet spices (pepper, liquorice) and elegant woody nuances (cedar, vanilla).
Palate: Silky, full attack. Fine, well-structured tannins. Well-balanced mid-palate with pure fruit and refreshing acidity. Long, harmonious finish, marked by spicy and floral notes.
