This has lovely, fragrant raspberry fruit and leaf aromas, opening up to wonderful savoury complexity and impressive concentration. Delicious, succulent, quite powerful yet silky-textured, this is a beautiful Margaux to enjoy now and over the next five years or longer. The Blason d'Issan label was introduced by Château d'Issan from 1995 onwards to enable greater selection amongst the property's vines growing in the Margaux appellation area. Fruit from the younger vines is used to produce this wine, which respects the identity of its terroir, while offering a tasty round fruitiness, which can be enjoyed earlier than the 'grand vin'. It is aged in barrels for 14 to 16 months, one third of which are new.

Winemaking
"Blason d’Issan, the Chateau's second wine since 1995, selects Margaux vines. Youngest vines create a terroir-respecting, round-fruity delight. Aged 14-16 months in barrels, 1/3 new. Around 120,000 bottles yearly. Harmonious mid-January blend features high Cabernet Sauvignon (77%). Chateau d’Issan 2014 stands out uniquely, embodying its essence.
Press Review
93/100 - Very pretty and finely formed with currant, cherry and raspberry character. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and fresh finish. Fine textured. Lovely second wine for d’Issan.
Press Review
91/100 - The quality of this 2016 just shines out. It's full of plump fruit, with great balance and plenty of Margaux typicity - plump red and black berry fruits and high floral aromatics, an exemplary second wine. And from a yield of 55hl/ha; a great example of how (low) yields are not a necessary indicator of quality. Some menthol notes on the finish also, this is juicy and although you could drink now, it will develop further in bottle.
