Marked by a spicy, oaky profile, the 2025 D'Issan reveals aromas of lead pencil, tobacco and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and dense, it’s built around an assertive tannic frame and concludes with a long, spicy finish. Quite introverted at this stage, it will need to gain in elegance and harmony with élevage.

A tight and juicy red with blackberry, cherry, plum and spice aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a crunchy finish. Refined for the vintage, with plenty of character and length.

Dark fruit with a minty freshness. Well-handled tannins fine grained and integrated. Drive on the finish but no excess. Really quite an elegant Issan.

The 2025 d'Issan is fabulous. Inky and racy to the core, the 2025 Issan has so much to offer. Crème de cassis, menthol, licorice, cloves, gravel and mocha all meld together in the glass. Sumptuous and seamless with exceptional balance, the 2025 is a real stunner. This is an especially dense d'Issan that reflects the intensity of the year. Tasted two times.

Cassis, black cherries, smoky tobacco, graphite, and a chalky minerality all shine from the 2025 Château D'Issan, a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot that's being raised in 50% new barriques with the balance in once-used barrels. Reminding me slightly of the 2016 with its balance and elegance, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It builds beautifully with time in the glass, and checking in at 13.73% alcohol with a pH of 3.63, this is going to be an incredibly satisfying, classic, complex Margaux that exudes class and elegance.

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate rim brightening. Floral background of cassis, black cherries, a hint of cassis, delicate nuances of precious wood, candied lime zest. Complex, elegant, red berry fruit, fresh structure, ripe tannins, mineral, delicate extract sweetness, good length, secure development potential.
