Château d’Issan has been part of Margaux’s history for centuries, and its vineyards sit in one of the appellation’s distinctive sites, where gravel over clay helps the grapes ripen fully while holding onto freshness. The estate tends each plot individually and harvests by hand, allowing them to preserve the character of the site in the finished wine. That attention results in a Margaux with silky tannins, ripe fruit and a graceful structure, showing why this corner of Bordeaux has such enduring appeal.
