About this wine
Moulin d'Issan is the more approachable cuvée of Château d'Issan, the storied Margaux 3ème Cru Classé, drawn from a separate parcel just outside the appellation boundary — hence its AOC Bordeaux Supérieur classification despite the d'Issan team and terroir behind it. The 2022 is a Merlot-led blend (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon), hand-picked between 15 and 28 September, fermented gently and aged twelve months in oak with 25% new barrels. A wine in d'Issan's house style — generous, polished and harmonious — at a fraction of the grand vin's serious price.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby. The nose offers ripe, generous fruit lifted by subtle spice — sweet plum, blackberry, a wisp of clove. The palate is round and silky, with smooth, well-integrated tannins giving a sense of structure without weight. Built for deliciousness: balanced, harmonious and ready right now.
Food pairings
Roast lamb with rosemary, Beef bourguignon, Mushroom and herb risotto, Cheese plate with hard cheeses
