Château d'Issan 2018 Margaux (6L)

Château d'Issan lies in Margaux, behind walls and a moat that underline its historic character. The estate had several noble owners and was recognised as third grand cru classé in 1855. The Cruse family bought the château in 1945 and began restoring the vineyard and buildings. Emmanuel Cruse continues that family history, while the Lorenzetti family later became co-owners. The vineyards within the historic walls form an important part of the identity of d'Issan. They lie on gravel soils near the Gironde, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as the main grapes.
