August 01, 2026

In the vineyards of Château d'Issan, the vines are entering a new stage of their annual cycle with veraison, the moment when the grapes begin to ripen and gradually change colour.

Beneath the summer sun, the berries slowly develop their characteristic hues, offering the first glimpse of the future vintage. Though subtle, this transformation marks the beginning of a decisive period, during which every vineyard plot is carefully monitored by our vineyard team.

In Margaux, each vintage unfolds at nature's own pace. Patience, precision and close observation guide our daily work in the vineyard, ensuring that every parcel expresses the full character of its terroir.

Veraison marks the first visible expression of the 2026 vintage. A new chapter in the story of Château d'Issan is now beginning to unfold.
