"The Château d'Issan signature at a small price!
The Moulin d'Issan vineyard is located on the parcels of Château d'Issan in the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. Close to the Gironde estuary, the soils are ideal for growing Merlot grapes. This immediately pleasurable wine combines richness, suppleness and fruitiness. It benefits from the same care and the same team as its elder brother, 3ème Grand Cru Classé de Margaux.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Half the vineyard is owned by the Cruse family, the other half by Jacky Lorenzetti, who obviously have great ambitions for it. Surrounded by walls, the fifty-hectare vineyard is situated on a first-class terroir, which explains the wine's remarkable aromatic finesse, and its consistency despite the frequent climatic vagaries of recent vintages. With even more rigorous selection, it could match its prestigious Palmer neighbor, albeit with a different character.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
With its medieval château on one side and 17th-century manor house on the other, this cru classé blends styles and eras with real harmony, as seen in the cellar and its hull-shaped frame. At the helm since 1945, the Cruse family, associated since 2013 with Jacky Lorenzetti, already firmly established in the Médoc, manages a 55-hectare vineyard planted on a fine clay-gravel terroir in the heart of the appellation.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).
About the domain :
In addition to a sumptuous château, Issan boasts one of the few historic vineyards that has not been consolidated, ideally situated on the banks of the Gironde and contained within a magnificent clos. Thanks to the work of Emmanuel Cruse and his team, the wines have gained in thickness, intensity and depth in recent years, while retaining a very silky touch. They are now among the appellation's elite.
