Chateau d' Issan 3eme Grand Cru
Black currants, cedar, tobacco, flowers, cherries, licorice, smoke, and cigar wrappers define the aromatic profile. Medium-bodied, lifted, sweet, vibrant, and elegant, the wine offers polish, finesse, refinement, and beautiful textures. The fruit is fresh, clean, and pure. The energy in the finish, with its layers of lush, polished fruit that stick with you, expanding and building in intensity, hits the spot.. The wine is made from a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot. 13.73% ABV. Picking took place September 11 - September 23. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. It is important to note that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the Cruse family as owners of d'Issan. Drink from 2030-2060.
