Chalky, fragrant, floral, well defined and drawn out, sappy acidities and maintains estate signature finesse. Harvest 26 September to 8 October. 3.53 pH. 35% new oak, 40hl/h yield.
The 2024 Blason d'Issan is a real charmer. There's more Cabernet Sauvignon in this year's blend because of issues with the Merlot. That is evident in the wine's aromatics and also in a flavor profile laced with purplish berry fruit, sage, rose petal, menthol and licorice. The 2024 finishes with a good backbone of acidity and tannin.
The 2024 Blason d’Issan offers a clean, pure bouquet with dark cherry, blueberry and violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with light tannins lilting toward the finish that has plenty of buvabilité. Enjoy it over the next decade.
