🏡 About Château d’Issan

With a history dating back to the early 12th century, Château d’Issan is one of Margaux’s historic estates. Its reputation predates its recognition as a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, with wines reportedly served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry Plantagenet, the future King of England, on 18 May 1152.

Managed by the Cruse family since 1945 and led by Emmanuel Cruse for almost 30 years, the estate neighbours Château Margaux and Château Palmer. Its terroir produces wines celebrated for their finesse and elegance, with the 2022 vintage named James Suckling’s Wine of the Year 2025.
