The 2015 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2023): 95/100 “Beautiful dark red, intense. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, pure, ripe. Minutious on the entry, particularly tasty in the middle, with a graceful bearing, the wine melts on the palate, juicy, fat, long and even deep. Bravo!”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “The 2020 is obviously more concentrated and profound, but also endowed with undeniable charm, with a very fine quality of tannins.”
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 93/100 “The 2020 Château d'Issan has a gorgeous, perfumed, floral bouquet with mainly red berry fruit, rose petal and hints of violet. The palate is medium-bodied, very focused and linear, with fine tannins. It perhaps needs a little more density toward the finish. There is a little bitterness on the aftertaste, yet that just lends tension and nerve. Lovely. ”
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 96/100 “Very classic and very well structured, with admirable volume and all the elegance one expects from a Margaux”.
