  • Description

    The 1983 Château d'Issan is a beautifully aged Third Growth Margaux, offering a refined and elegant expression of this historic estate. The 1983 vintage in Bordeaux was highly regarded, particularly in the Margaux appellation, where wines developed excellent structure and longevity. Now, after over 40 years of aging, this wine presents a fascinating opportunity for collectors and lovers of mature Bordeaux.

    With a deep garnet color and amber hues, the wine showcases a complex bouquet of red and black currants, subtle bergamot, and mint, with tertiary notes of cedar and tobacco. The palate remains medium-bodied and well-balanced, with softened tannins and a lingering, refined finish. While the fruit has mellowed, the wine retains an elegant structure that makes it a pleasure to drink.

    Best enjoyed at 16-18°C (60-64°F), the 1983 Château d’Issan pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. Decanting is recommended to separate any sediment and allow the wine’s delicate aromas to fully open. This vintage is a wonderful example of Margaux’s finesse and longevity, making it an excellent addition to any serious wine collection.
