Neighbour of Palmer and 3rd Grand Cru Classé like him, Issan offers wines that are clearly different, straighter and crisper. Since 2004, Issan wines have grown in size and body without losing their elegance or denying their Margalais origins.
The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 95/100 “Beautiful dark red, intense. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, pure, ripe. Minutious on the entry, particularly tasty in the middle, with a graceful bearing, the wine melts on the palate, juicy, fat, long and even deep. Bravo!”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025): 90/100 “The 2015 Château d'Issan has a potent bouquet with bold toasty black plum and gamey scents. There's possibly just a bit of Brettanomyces here. The palate is pure and medium-bodied with a pleasant fluidity, a keen bead of acidity and tensile finsh. This is modern in style and well made, yet I am certain this bottle was not showing at its peak.”
