Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Cissac, Haut Médoc, 2005

Cissac’s vineyards are set on good terroir in the hinterland behind Pauillac, and owner Louis Vialard built the reputation of this popular Cru Bourgeois the hard way in the sixties and seventies, travelling the globe and shaking many thousands of hands. He always found a warm welcome in the UK, where the chateau’s traditional style was particularly well received, and our company was one of his regular customers for many years. Now under the direction of Louis’s daughter, the wines continue to please a demanding, Francophile audience, and we are glad to be offering this wine once again as a primeur. (NB UK sales only.)

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2016 Cissac has a clean and pure bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry and cedar aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, quite precise with a focused, quite vibrant and persistent finish that is very satisfying. This is a great Cissac, a wine that will give 10 to 15 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.
