With a history dating back to 1152, Château d'Issan was established as a third growth in the 1855 classification. By 1945 when the Cruse family purchased this storybook Margaux property with its 17th century Château and moat, it was a shadow of its former self with just 2ha in production. With 44ha planted to 60% Cabernet and 40% Merlot, the Cruse family sold 50% to Jacky Lorenzetti in 2013. D'Issan is now firing on all cylinders, producing a wine that is both fleshy and structured. Up to 40% of the production is declassified into a second wine (Blason d’Issan).

The Virginie de Valandraud red AOC Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2018 is a beautiful expression of Bordeaux craftsmanship. It boasts a deep, ruby red color, with glints of purple at the edges. On the nose, aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis mingle with hints of cedar, vanilla, and tobacco. These notes continue onto the palate, where they are joined by flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, and a touch of spice. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. This vintage is particularly special, with warm weather allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine that is full-bodied and complex, yet well-balanced. A true representation of the Chateau Valandraud's commitment to excellence, this wine is sure to delight the senses and leave a lasting impression. Enjoy now or cellar for further development.

Left in a sorry state by the previous owners, in 1962 the Rothschilds of Lafite took over the property and begun to reconstruct the vineyard which was planted mostly to Petit Verdot. 4 decades later and the wines of Château Duhart-Milon are now showing the flavour and concentration you expect from such a site in Pauillac.
