In 1152, Château d’Issan (or Lamothe Cantenac as it was known at the time) was served at the royal wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II. In the 1400s, the vineyard was known as Teobon, until finally it became named for its 17th century owner, a knight called d’Essenualt, the phonetic contraction of which is “d’Issan”.

In 1945 the Château was bought by the Cruse family, who remain its owners to this day.

Located in the heart of Margaux appellation, Château d’Issan and the team have always been great friends of the Club. It is with great pleasure that we welcome the owner and winemaker, Emmanuel Cruse, the third generation of his family to run the Château, who will run this rare Rule of Five online masterclass featuring five vintages chosen by Emmanuel.

For those joining from the UK or Europe, the wines for these tastings are now available through bespoke sample sets which can be posted to you. Please order on 67 Pall Mall’s website.
