Wine Spectator

Plum and fig fruit is melded together, with tobacco and dark tea notes around the edges. An herbal twinge takes hold on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 

Winemaker's Notes

The wines of 2008 are elegant, with an expression of ripe, fully developed fruit. We are pride to have achieved such balanced wines, with good richness and complexity

About the Wine

Blason d’Issan, our second wine, was introduced from 1995 onwards to enable selection amongst our vines growing in the Margaux appellation area. Fruit from our youngest vines is used to produce this wine, which respects the identity of its terroir, while offering a tasty round fruitiness, which can be enjoyed earlier. Blason d’Issan is also aged in barrels for 14 to 16 months, one third of which are new. Annual production is around 120,000 bottles.

Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot
