Chateau d'Issan is one of Margaux's most beautiful estates — a moated, fairy-tale chateau — and a Third Growth in the 1855 classification, with a track record of producing some of the appellation's most perfumed, silky wines. The 2016 is a celebrated Bordeaux vintage, combining ripeness with classic structure and freshness, and d'Issan made a wine built for the long haul. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot dominate the blend, raised in the polished, aromatic style the estate is known for. Still young by Margaux standards — broachable now with decanting, but with years of cellaring ahead.

Robert Parker

94 points

"The 2016 D'Issan is blended of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot, aged in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak for 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it has vibrant black cherries and blackcurrants notes with chocolate mint, beef drippings, black olives and cigar box. Medium-bodied with a well-sustained, intensely flavored mid-palate, it has a rock-solid, grainy frame and long savory finish. 10,500 cases produced." —Robert Parker

Decanter

94 points

"A lovely wine that delivers on its en primeur promise, with contemporary touches of cocoa-dusted rich damson, creamy blackberries and extremely well handled grilled oak. It has lovely lift and the fruit is buttressed neatly by well worked tannins, while the acidity gives an elegant twist. Welcoming and sculpted."

Wine Spectator

91 points

"Light pepper and savory hints lead off in this bouncy, juicy version, with bright cassis and bitter cherry fruit forming the core. Shows a light mineral edge on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

95 points

"This wine has an austere structure, with firm tannins. The fruit comes through slowly, revealing an attractive black-currant flavor and ample acidity. This will be a very fine wine with time; try after 2029."

Tasting Profile

Perfumed, silky Margaux — dark cassis fruit, florals and fine tannins, still youthful with cellar potential.
