About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceAn inscription above the gates of Château d'Issan greets you and you enter saying +for the tables of kings and the high alters of the gods+. It's hard not to agree with the sentiment as this Château produces wines of incredible power and richness with the ability to age ever so gracefully in your cellar. With the 2009 d'Issan enjoying the qualities of the vintage showing decadent redcurrant and blackberry flavours early, yet with supple tannins that will see the wine age for decades.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

A strong effort from proprietor Emmanuel Cruse, d’Issan’s 2009 was fashioned from minuscule yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare, and its 13.7% natural alcohol set a record at this estate. Composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot, it exhibits a classic Margaux fragrance of acacia flowers/violets, blueberries, cassis, licorice and camphor. Opulent and full-bodied with silky tannins as well as a rich, dense style, it will be interesting to compare the 2009 with the brilliant 2000 and 2005 over the next two to three decades
