In the 16th century, the Chevalier d’Essenault, an advisor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, had the old building demolished to construct the current structure, to which he gave his abbreviated name: Issan. Two centuries later, in 1855, the estate was classified as a Troisième Grand Cru of Margaux. In 1945, the Cruse family acquired the estate. Since 1998, the estate has been managed by Emmanuel Cruse, who is co-owner alongside Jacky Lorenzetti. In 2008, Cruse was awarded the title of Grand Maître de la Commanderie du Bontemps des Médoc, des Graves, de Sauternes, and de Barsac. Château d’Issan owns a vineyard on a single plot along the banks of the Gironde, whose soil consists of beautiful, gravel-rich Graves. As in the rest of the appellation, the grape variety portfolio consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. The vines are managed using sustainable viticultural methods: treatments are applied based on the severity of the disease, and a strong emphasis is placed on preventive care (generally between 7 and 9 treatments per year).
