Product detailed description
Blason benefited from extremely low yields in 2008, which brought unusual concentration to the wine. A delicious wine with a nice texture and chocolate accompaniment.
The colour of the wine is beautifully high and pure, deep purple with a fading gradient at the rim. On the glass the wine leaves long spectacular bridges. The wine should be decanted. The aroma is distinctive and clean. Strong barrique and then fruity notes of blueberries, cherries and currants. Over time, notes of overripe leather become apparent. Overall, the wine gives a sweet impression. The temperature of the wine should be kept at 16-18 °C. As you get to 20-22 °C, unpleasant alcohol-acetone notes start to appear on the finish. The taste is medium-bodied. The tannins are a little harsher in this wine and need to age. Medium length.

Château d'Issan
Château d'Issan is one of the most renowned vineyards in Bordeaux. The winery is located in the town of Margaux, southeast of the famous Château Margaux. Château d'Issan is situated on an island surrounded by a moat.
Wine from Château d'Issan was served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry Plantagenet, and Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph ordered it for his table at the Hofburg. This estate is an integral part of French cultural heritage.
Since 1998, the winery has been managed by Emmanuel Cruse, the youngest of the Cruse family. Emmanuel embarked on a path of systematic changes with admirable courage and determination. They improved everything that could be improved. By focusing on quality at Château d'Issan for several years, the wines exhibit remarkable charm and aroma, which is mature yet non-aggressive.
The estate covers approximately 53 hectares of medium-sized vineyards. 70% of the area is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% with Merlot. The vineyards produce 60-70,000 bottles of wine.
