Blason D'Issan Margaux 2018

The 2018 Blason d'Issan is a refined and accessible second wine from the prestigious Château d'Issan in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot, this deep garnet-purple red wine offers an aromatic profile of ripe plums, cassis, and blackberries complemented by notes of chocolate, leather, and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple yet structured character, featuring silky, fine-grained tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. Produced from the estate's younger vines and aged for 18 months in oak barrels, this elegant vintage reaches its peak around 2026 and pairs exceptionally well with red meats, game, and roasted vegetables.
