Château d'Issan is a Third Growth estate within the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux’s left bank. Their richly aromatic, silky-textured wines, sit as some of the finest from the region. Their estate covers about 44 hectares, planted with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot.
The inviting wines of Château d’Issan have inspired several notable followers over the years. In the 1700s it achieved acclaim with Henry Powell, sommelier to the then Prince of Wales, and Thomas Jefferson, who listed it among his favourite Bordeaux wines. At the end of the 19th century, Austrian Emperor Franz-Joseph liked it so much he gave the estate the motto that remains engraved over its doors: “regum mensis aris que deorum”, which translates as “for the table of kings and the altar of gods.”
Today, the wines remain well-received by critics thanks to the work and investment of joint owners, Emmanuel Cruse and Jacky Lorenzetti. Cruse took over the estate from his grandfather, who bought the estate after the Second World War, while Lorenzetti, a wine lover and investor, joined in 2013.
