Tasting note
Vivid and bright bouquet, perfumed with dark cherry and blueberry notes, underscored by a hint of pencil lead. The palate reveals a medium-bodied, mineral-driven entrance. Silky and harmonious in texture, it conceals a noteworthy structure leading to the finish. Blason d’Issan, often considered a second wine, showcases impressive craftsmanship.
In the press
The 2015 Blason d'Issan is a superb second wine. Dark, powerful and enveloping, the 2015 has so much to offer in its fleshy, inviting personality. Dark plum, leather and cedar are some of the many nuances that flesh out in this resonant, super-expressive Margaux. I loved it.
Vinification
"Blason d’Issan, the Chateau's second wine since 1995, selects Margaux vines. Youngest vines create a terroir-respecting, round-fruity delight. Aged 14-16 months in barrels, 1/3 new. Around 120,000 bottles yearly. Harmonious mid-January blend features high Cabernet Sauvignon (77%). Chateau d’Issan 2014 stands out uniquely, embodying its essence.
Food Match
Aged hard cheese or rich meat dishes will pair well with the depth and tannin structure of this wine.
