About the Winery

Chateau d’Issan has changed hands over generations, contributing to the reputation of the estate and the castle. During the twelfth century, it was known as La Mothe-Cantenac. The estate changed hands over the years, ending in the hands of the ‘Essenault family in 1575, whose successive generations gave the estate its present name. The estate was owned by the Foix de Candale, who abandoned it after the Revolution. In 1824, the estate was controlled by Jean-Baptiste Duluc, who improved the estate vineyards before the Blanchy family took over. In 1866, Gustave Roy owned the estate, built the first gravity-fed cellars, and replanted the phylloxera-affected vineyards.
