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 2022 Chateau Fieuzal from Bordeaux, France is a stunning representation of the region's renowned winemaking. This vintage showcases a deep, dark ruby color with vibrant purple hues that glisten in the glass. On the nose, the wine exudes a rich bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe plums, and blackberries, layered with delicate hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of intense fruit flavors and subtle oak notes. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and a long, elegant finish. This wine has the potential to age beautifully for years to come, but can also be enjoyed now with a hearty meal or on its own as a show-stopping aperitif. Chateau Fieuzal has once again delivered a masterpiece in winemaking with their 2022 vintage.
