2016 Chateau d'Issan

Tasting notes:

Aged for 18 months in barrels made of French oak and traditionally racked using a candle every 3 months. Exquisite bouquet of pure dark berry with notes of leather so characteristic of Margaux. The wine stands out for its suppleness, subtlety and elegance.

Producer description:

Dating back to the 12th century, Château d’Issan has been hand down from generation to generation with a quest for excellence at every transmission. Today the estate is owned by the Cruse family who is helped by famous consultant oenologist Éric Boissenot. The soils are composed of the typical gravel on top of a clay subsoil, which contributes to optimal ripeness and freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
