Moulin D'issan, 0.75
The history of the estate is primarily a history of families, inheritance, and transfers generation after generation. The first known mention of Issan dates back to the 12th century. At that time, the property was a feudal estate known as La Mothe-Cantenac, before it became the Théobon estate.
Château d'Issan did not need the famous 1855 classification, which designated it as a 3rd Grand Cru Classé, to establish its reputation. This was already done in the 12th century when it was reportedly served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry Plantagenet, the future King of England.
To the right of the historic path leading to Château d'Issan are our Bordeaux Supérieur AOC plots. They are closest to the Gironde estuary. The soil there is predominantly clay-limestone and therefore particularly suitable for the Merlot grape variety.
The third wine of the château has been produced since 1988.
Aged for 12 months in oak barrels. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
