Château Cissac 2010 is a classic Cru Bourgeois from the Haut Médoc, produced by Château Cissac, an estate with a long standing reputation for reliable and traditional claret. The vineyards are planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot and Petit Verdot, grown on gravel soils that bring structure and ageing potential.
The 2010 vintage is one of the great modern Bordeaux vintages, producing wines with depth and longevity. At Château Cissac this results in a wine that combines classic Médoc character with balance and approachability, now showing early maturity.
Tasting notes
Château Cissac 2010 shows aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and red fruits, with notes of cedar, tobacco and a touch of earth.
On the palate the wine is medium bodied and well balanced, with fresh fruit supported by fine tannins. There is a savoury edge developing, with hints of graphite and spice leading to a smooth and persistent finish.
