In the 16th century, Chevalier d’Essenault, a councilor in the Parliament of Bordeaux, had the old building razed to the ground to make way for the current structure, to which he gave his surname: Issan. Two centuries later, in 1855, the estate was classified as a Troisième Grand Cru of Margaux. In 1945, the Cruse family became its owners. Since 1998, the estate has been managed by Emmanuel Cruse, who co-owns it with Jacky Lorenzetti. In 2008, Cruse was awarded the title of Grand Maître de la Commanderie du Bontemps of the Médoc, the Graves, Sauternes, and Barsac. Château d’Issan owns a vineyard on a unique plot along the banks of the Gironde, whose soil consists of splendid gravel rich in pebbles. The grape variety mix, as in the rest of the appellation, consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. The vines are cultivated using sustainable viticulture techniques: treatments are applied based on the severity of the disease, with a strong emphasis on preventive care (generally between 7 and 9 treatments per year).
