The history of Moulin d’Issan is above all a family story of transmissions generation after generation. The first known reference of Issan dates back to the twelfth century during the occupation of Guyenne by the English. At this time, the Château was named La Mothe-Cantenac, before becoming the Theobon Manor. During the following centuries, the property was passed on from hand to hand, from heir to marriage. Thus, many families succeeded each other at the head of the soil until 1575, when the family of Essenault obtained the property. It was the fifth generation of descendants of this family who eventually renamed the estate, by contraction of their name: the Château d’Issan was born. Moulin d’Issan is the Bordeaux Supérieur of the Château d’Issan.

3rd Classified Growth since 1855, the Château did not wait for this classification to distinguish itself since the reputation of its wine dates back to the end of the 12th century when it was served at the wedding of Aliénor d’Aquitaine with Henri Plantagenêt, future King of England, May 18, 1152. Since the beginning of the 1990s, under the impetus of Emmanuel Cruse and his technical director, a major renovation of the production apparatus has been undertaken and the aim is to to constantly improve the maintenance of the vineyard and the winemaking techniques. In 2012, Françoise and Jacky Lorenzetti, also owners of the Châteaux Lilian Ladouys and Pédesclaux, teamed up with the Cruse family and work together to revive the Château d’Issan, which has been able to regain all its acclaim.

Tasting Notes: At the tasting, the Moulin d’Issan is full and velvety. The dominant aromas on the nose are black fruits such as blackberry. On the palate the wine is fruity, with aromas of black fruits also, then these give way to the woody and the delicacy. The freshness and the fruit are brought by the Merlot. The wine is balanced and voluptuous.
