Tasting notes

The 2010 is a classic Bordeaux with hints of cedar wood, red and black fruits, new saddle leather and an attractive, spicy, earthy, character. The acids seem much sweeter than I remember from some of the vintages from 20 years ago, but the wine is round, generously endowed, well-made and medium-bodied. It should drink nicely for at least a decade.

About this wine

Château Cissac is a renowned wine producer located in the Haut Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back to the 16th century, the estate is known for producing elegant, balanced, and complex wines. The vineyards of Château Cissac cover 55 hectares and are planted with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes. The soil is composed of gravel and clay, which provides excellent drainage and contributes to the unique character of the wines.

The wines of Château Cissac are produced using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand harvesting, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in oak barrels. The wines are aged for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage, before being bottled. The estate produces two main wines: Château Cissac and Château Lartigue. Château Cissac is the flagship wine of the estate and is a full-bodied wine with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cedar. On the palate, it is rich and complex, with firm tannins and a long finish. Château Lartigue is a second wine of Château Cissac and is made from younger vines and grapes that do not meet the strict standards of the flagship wine. It is a lighter wine with a fruity character and soft tannins.
