Everything Bordeaux
Discover bottles from both sides of the river.
It’s always fun to host and introduce guests to a new bottle or region and although Bordeaux is beloved by so many wine aficionados, it still impresses, even before that first sip. Below are some of our recommendations from the famous region, featuring bottles primarily from the Left Bank. With Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant grape found on this side of the river, expect tannin and more structure in general than that of it’s Right Bank counterpart. Don’t worry, we’ve sprinkled in some picks from Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, too.
New Bordeaux is here.
Our latest arrivals from the famous French region of Bordeaux.
Château d’Issan did not need the famous 1855 classification distinguishing it as a 3rd Grand Cru Classé to establish its reputation. This was already made back in the 12th century, when it was reported to have been served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henri Plantagenet, future King of England on 18th May 1152.
During the period between the two World Wars, the estate was unfortunately left to deteriorate, but was reawakened by the Cruse family, owners since 1945. Under the management of Lionel Cruse, the chateau has been restored, the installations modified and the vineyard replanted. Since 1998, as a result of investments made by Lionel’s son Emmanuel Cruse in the vines and cellars, Château d’Issan wines have become even more a faithful reflection of their exclusive terroir. In 2012, Françoise and Jacky Lorenzetti, who also own Château Lilian Ladouys in Saint-Estèphe and Château Pédesclaux in Pauillac, joined forces with the Cruse family. With tenacity, passion and courage, the different generations have worked to achieve the renewal of Château d’Issan, which has regained its former glory.
