For over seven centuries, its wines have been appreciated for their quality and unique character. While its lands are today predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, this site was once a Gallo-Roman place of worship and a haven for Cistercian monks who looked after its vines. The Château d'Issan is built on a Roman hermitage that gives the estate its unique historical character. The main architecture of the chateau is a conversion of the Cistercian chapel into a square around which the rest of the building has developed. The building is surrounded by 30 hectares of sun-drenched vineyards, the variety of soils contributing to the beautiful palette of aromas, flavors, and colors that characterize the wines of Issan.

A unique feature of their white cuvée is its aging in wood, which gives it an interesting softness and very complex aromas.

Noted for its excellence in terms of quality and exclusivity, it is defined by its wines that faithfully represent the Margaux region and approach the highest international quality standards.
