{"product_id":"haut-medoc-chateau-de-candale-1995-2","title":"Château de Candale Haut Médoc Château d’Issan 1995","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1995 Château de Candale Haut Médoc is a red wine originating from the renowned Bordeaux region on the Atlantic coast. Bordeaux has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally recognized for its historic estates and the legendary 1855 classification. This specific wine comes from the Haut-Médoc, the southern and highly prestigious part of the Médoc peninsula on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, where Cabernet Sauvignon thrives on the gravel soils alongside Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The 1995 vintage in this area achieved a score of 91 points and is described as mature and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Château d’Issan, the wine comes from an estate with a profound historical heritage dating back to the Middle Ages. Documented as early as 1152, legend states that the estate's wine was served at the wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England, an event that linked parts of southwestern France to the English crown and laid the foundation for Bordeaux's historical wine trade. The current Renaissance-style castle, built in 1644 and surrounded by an iconic moat, is one of the most photographed landmarks in the Margaux village. In the historic 1855 classification, Château d’Issan was ranked as a 3e Cru Classé.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassified as an Appellation Haut-Médoc Contrôlée, this wine has an alcohol volume of 12.5% and was bottled directly at the château. At the time of this 1995 release, the estate was under the sole ownership of the Cruse family, who acquired the property in 1945, with Madame Emmanuel Cruse serving as the administrator. The family maintained full ownership until a 2012 partnership brought in the Lorenzetti family. Today, the 30-hectare estate continues to build on its deep historical roots with a modern ambition for quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château d’Issan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57790316216646,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1874_ab221716-3e6f-4faf-a878-c2d803f152f0.jpg?v=1793877833","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/haut-medoc-chateau-de-candale-1995-2","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
