Reviews:

Tasted at the Crus Bourgeois 2010 tasting in London. The Cissac has a well-defined, delineated bouquet with blackberry, briary, crushed stone and tobacco notes. It is well balanced with graphite-infused black fruit, a touch of tobacco and impressive precision and length towards the finish. Very fine. Tasted September 2012. Neil Martin - Wine Journal 2012

Background.
In 1895, Jacques Mondon, a lawyer in Pauillac, acquired several vineyards in the parish of Cissac-Medoc. He combined these different vineyards under the name of Chateau Cissac. In 1940 Louis Vialard inherited the property from his grandparents Mondon and he set about the task of restoring the vineyards and the outbuildings as well as the family home. The château is of a particular architectural style, “Chartreuse” of the 18th century and is probably on the site of a Roman Villa.

Vinification: Fermentation at 28/30C lasting an average of 5 weeks. Ageing:18/20 months in oak casks; 30/40% of the wine is aged in new oak casks each year

Tasting Note: A full flavoured, reliable, robust and balanced Cru Bourgeois showing classic Bordeaux notes of cedar and tobacco.

Every day serving suggestion: At room temperature with roast and grilled red meats and cheese.

Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Merlot 20%, Petit Verdot 5%
