Chateau Cissac REFLETS du CISSAC Haut-Medoc Description: This is the second wine of Chateau Cissac and the 50 hectare estate is located in Cissac-Medoc, at the heart of Haut-Medoc appellation. The Soil has fine gravel and chalk characteristics and is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot that are used in this wine. Chateau bottled, the harvest is hand picked while vinification takes place in oak vats under temperature control up to a maximum of 28/30º. The wine is then matured 16 months in oak barrels, of which 50% are new. Each vine does not produce similar quantities each year. However, the proportions on the various single-variety wines that are assembled to make Chateau Cissac are strickly respected. The remaining wines are then carefully blended and are offered to customers under the label 'Reflets du Château Cissac'. The style will undoubtedly vary from year to year, not only for climatic reasons which apply to all wines but also to the varying productions of the grape varieties. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £130.43
