| 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)

Chateau Falfas Cotes de Bourg
Description: Organic: This Bourg district is on the right bank slopes of the river Gironde. Merlot-dominated, this is a fine example of attention to detail and top class biodynamic wine making. Lots of plummy, spicy fruit, backed up by some oak ageing giving it fine length and plenty of aftertaste. If this is what chateau-bottled organic tastes like, let's have more of it.. the cedary nose has a distinctively grand whiff about it, suggesting a wine at more than twice the price. It's an elegant, roundly mature and middleweight claret drinking very well now. Spyglass Magazine. (6 x 75 cl)

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: Wonderfully rich and still holding back. Beautiful plum, toasted oak, berry and tobacco character. Firm with a full body. In 1855, when the original classification was made, it had to be satisfied with the top placing in the second crus. This was probably due to the fact that the property had been bought in a relatively neglected state by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild two years before the classification took place. This meant he had no opportunity to make the estate and the vineyard respectable. Mouton was then no more than a farmhouse and it was not until 1880 that James Rothschild built the elegant dwelling now known as Petit-Mouton. The property continued in the family of Rothschild and Baron Philippe took over the running of the property in 1922. He was determined to raise Mouton to a premier grand cru. One of the first things that he did was to introduce mandatory chateau bottling (6 x 75 cl)

Chateau Maucaillou Cru Bourgeois Moulis
Description: Thanks to its ideal vineyard conditions and to the loving care given to the wine during vinemaking, ageing and bottling, Châteati Maucaillou is a wine of exceptional quality and is in no way inferior to many estates classified in 1855. The main reason it was not itself classified at that time is that the château was not built, nor did vineyard come into being until 1875. As with all great growths, Maucaillou is always good in difficult years because only perfectly ripe grapes are picked and because selection both at harvest time and during vinemaking is particularly rigorous and stringent. Increasing recognition of its high quality is making Maucaillou more and more sought after by connoisseurs the world over. (12 x 75 cl)
