Juicy on the palate, a ton of rose bud, floral character, clear impact from just 3% Malbec, a little shut down on the finish. 30% oak for ageing. Great value.

Across more than 50 hectares of classic Margaux gravel and alluvial hills, the estate crafts both its Grand Vin and Blason d’Issan, its celebrated Second Wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"2,1\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage is a testament to resilience and balance in the vineyard. Following a cold, wet winter and a mild spring that encouraged even vine growth, a cool, unsettled July gave way to warm sunshine through August and September. Harvested in good conditions despite a few passing showers, the resulting grapes delivered a wine brimming with vibrant, expressive fruit structure - offering a pure, accessible window into the elegance of Château d’Issan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/margaux\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Margaux Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58882512322904,"sku":"740012","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/blason-d-issan-margaux-bordeaux-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1794481519","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/blason-dissan-margaux-2023","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
