Description

The 1983 Château Cissac is a mature Haut-Médoc that perfectly illustrates the enduring appeal of traditional Bordeaux. Located near Saint-Estèphe in the northern Médoc, Château Cissac has built a strong reputation for producing classically styled wines that combine structure, elegance and excellent ageing potential. After more than four decades of bottle maturation, this vintage offers a rare opportunity to experience the complexity and charm of fully mature Left Bank Bordeaux.

The history of Château Cissac dates back several centuries, and the estate remains one of the most respected properties in the Haut-Médoc. Its gravel-rich vineyards, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, produce wines known for their balance, aromatic complexity and longevity. The château's commitment to traditional winemaking has earned it a loyal following among enthusiasts of mature Bordeaux.

The bouquet is beautifully evolved, revealing aromas of dried blackcurrants, red berries and plum, intertwined with notes of cedarwood, tobacco leaf and cigar box. As the wine opens in the glass, further layers of leather, forest floor, dried herbs and earthy spice emerge, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile that reflects its considerable age.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and harmonious, with softened tannins and a refined texture developed through decades of ageing. Flavours of dried dark fruits, cedar, tobacco and savoury earth are balanced by refreshing acidity, providing lift and freshness. The finish is long and graceful, lingering with notes of spice, woodland character and mature Médoc complexity.

Now fully mature, the 1983 Château Cissac is best enjoyed over the coming years. Carefully decant to remove sediment and serve alongside roast lamb, beef Wellington, venison, game birds or mature hard cheeses. A classic mature Bordeaux that showcases the timeless elegance and character of the Haut-Médoc.
