Blason d’Issan 2022 is the second wine of the historic Château d’Issan, offering the elegance and finesse of Margaux at a more approachable price point. Crafted with the same care and attention as the Grand Vin, this vintage reflects the estate’s refined style with bright fruit, balanced structure, and graceful aging potential.
