Chateau D’issan 位於波爾多左岸的名村瑪歌 Margaux 區內，17世紀前曾由當時在波爾多擁有最多莊的 Segur 所擁有。1855年，Branchy 家族成為了新莊主，酒莊就被評上了61個波爾多列級名莊中的三級莊 而當年的名莊中只有拉菲 (Lafite) 、拉圖 (Latour) 、瑪歌 (Margaux) 、龍船 (Beychevelle) 和 迪仙 (d' Issan) 這五大酒莊用到 “Chateau” 即城堡這字眼

而在1945年二戰後，Cruse家族買下了酒莊，並投入大量金錢、時間和精力去修飾城堡、花園、葡萄園及各種設備，令原本已是質量保証的 D’Issan再大發光芒✨

 人工採收，在控溫不銹鋼大桶中進行發酵。在經過 21 天的浸皮後放入橡木桶中陳釀；其中50%採用新桶。2010 年份用 60%的 Cabernet和 40%的 Merlot 混釀。深厚多石的粘土土壤給予這款酒獨特的礦物質香氣。極低的產量讓這款酒呈現濃郁的深紫紅色，有著漂亮的花香，藍莓，黑莓以及一些醋栗，焦油，和碳烤香氣。口感純淨，平衡，單寧柔和。可以搭配紅肉，如羊肉，鴨肉為主，烤肉尤其適合搭配濃的芝士。

The 2018 D'Issan is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aging in 50% new and 50% second year barrels for an estimated 18 months. With 13.97% alcohol and a deep garnet-purple color, it features baked berries, warm cherries and cassis with spice box and fragrant earth plus tea hints. Medium to full-bodied, it has a great core of muscular fruit with firm, fine-grained tannins, with nice freshness, finishing layered with mineral notions.

Aromas of blackberry, plum, cocoa, iodine, clove and graphite. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins. Tightly wound and mineral at the moment, with dusty gravel and graphite notes, yet with focus and precision. Such balance and harmony for the vintage.

🏅 Decanter 95 pts

Well-balanced, fleshed out by redcurrant, raspberry and black cherry fruits. There is tannic build-up, gently layering but adding up to quite the wall at this stage, suggesting a long life ahead, and beautifully judged cigar smoke edging through the finish. Good stuff from Issan, and a wine I have tasted both at en primeur and during ageing in barrel. 50% new oak.

The top wine, the 2018 Château D'Issan is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot that spent 18 months in 50% new French oak. It offers a beautiful, singular bouquet of blackcurrants, new leather, smoked tobacco, scorched earth, and camphor. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, seamless Margaux with wonderful tannins, beautifully integrated acidity, and just a flawlessly balanced, elegant, layered style that's going to evolve for 20-25 years. It's one classy 2018 that has loads to love.
