"The brightness and precision already comes through on the nose with floral, blackcurrant character. Full-bodied and very tight and creamy with polished tannins that last for minutes. Warm and intense. Needs four to five years to show all it has, yet already a beauty." James Suckling

Château d'Issan

The present-day chateau (surrounded by a moat) was constructed in the 17th Century; like so many Bordeaux estates it was essentially in ruins after the First World War. Acquired by the Cruse winemaking family in the 1950's the vineyards were extensively replanted and the estate restored to its former glory. It was declared a Third Growth Grand Cru in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.
