Chateau d'Issan

Château d'Issan 2017 is a refined Margaux with a deep ruby color. The nose reveals a bouquet of red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, with hints of violet, graphite, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and a subtle hint of oak. The tannins are well-integrated and the acidity provides a fresh, balanced finish. This vintage is approachable now but can also benefit from further aging. It pairs well with roast beef, lamb, and semi-hard cheeses.
