    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.)

    The 2022 Cissac has a "correct" bouquet with blackberry, briary and light tobacco scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins, fresh and grippy, with a slightly minty finish. A kind of "carefree" Cissac…and I like that. But it doesn't quite get the pulse racing.
