Why We're Buying
Château d'Issan Margaux makes four wines, and none are more investment-worthy than its eponymous red blend. The flagship wine features cabernet sauvignon and merlot grown in clay subsoil for optimal freshness and vivaciousness. The result is the sixth most expensive wine in Margaux, according to Wine-Searcher.com.
Critics Scores
Wine Enthusiast
An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Now consistently one of the great wines of the appellation, d’Issan has produced a dense purple-colored wine with a beautiful set of aromatics offering a smorgasbord of aromas such as perfumed flowers, incense, graphite, licorice, blueberry, and black currant. The wine is seamlessly constructed, like a fine dress from a haute couture house. With fabulous concentration of fruit, the ethereal elegance and sublime character of this wine make it seem to almost float across the palate with substantial flavor penetration and laser-like focus. This is a gorgeous example of 2006 that can be drunk in 3-4 years or cellared for over two decades. Good value.
