3eme Cru Class Margaux (Cantenac)

Fine fragrant nose, perfect extraction, already beautifully textured, great future, probably the best d’Issan yet. Drink 2016-35.Decanter

Legend has it that Issan’s wines were served at the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry Plantagenet. It was certainly the favourite tipple of Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria. Indeed the far from modest motto of the estate ‘Regum mensis arisque deorumâ€?translates as ‘For the table of kings and the altar of godsâ€? Hmm â€?well it is a very good wine that’s for sure.
