Description: The first traces of the building that is now Chateau Cissac and the village of Cissac go back as far as the Romans. In fact, the village of Cissac was a relatively important Roman settlement. Tombs have been found in the village and in the grounds dating from the period of Merovee, the father of Charlemagne.

However, the house as we know it today dates from 1769 and Chateau Cissac extends over 50 hectares. It is from these vines that the Grand vin Chateau Cissac and its second wine, Reflets du Chateau Cissac are produced.

The vines are about 30 years old with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot grape varieties grown on fine gravel over chalk. Each vine variety does not produce similar quantities each year. However, the proportions on the various single-variety wines that are assembled to make Chateau Cissac are strictly respected.

There are ten huge wooden vats at Chateau Cissac, constructed in the great Medocain tradition. The hand picked grapes are Vinified in oak vats under temperature control then the wine is matured 18 months in barrels of which 30 to 40% are new.

A Well-known traditional styled Bordeaux Cru Bourgeois with plenty of oaky character, strength and a good finish.

Available in Original Wooden Case.

The colour is marked by a deep purple red. The bouquet comes to the force once the wine has had time to breathe a little. A little elderberry, blackcurrants and other soft fruits are complemented by aromas of toast and a touch of tobacco to give a complex bouquet. With a little more air aromas of mild spices and some mineral notes develop. On the palate the wine is elegant and has a long, lingering finish. The mineral and fruity character of the wine balances the powerful, ripe tannins. This is definitely a Cru Bourgeois with potential and a long future ahead and is only just starting to open out.
