Description

France / Bordeaux / Haut-Médoc

Château Cissac is located in the village of the same name, in the heart of the Médoc, between the communes of Saint Estèphe and Pauillac. The Château was acquired by Louis Vialard in 1940, and for some years now Marie Vialard has been managing the winery, which is classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. The vineyards are laid out with fine gravel over limestone and planted with the traditional grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon is ideally suited to the terroir in Cissac, where its power and aromas can fully develop their potential. As a blend with the elegant Merlot and the spicy Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon produces wines that are particularly complex and expressive. This Cru Bourgeois Supérieur is always a top-notch value for money!

Château Cissac

Between the two communes of Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac, Château Cissac is located in the village of the same name. The château lies in the Haut-Médoc region and is therefore classified as Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. It was acquired by Louis Vialard in 1940, and for several years the estate has been managed by Marie Vialard. The wines of Château Cissac stand for elegance, balance and drinking pleasure.

The château is known, among other things, for its charming manor house, surrounded by extensive vineyards and woodland. The estate is committed to preserving its natural environment and to sustainable wine production, combining traditional cultivation methods with modern techniques. It is regarded as a symbol of quality, craftsmanship and authenticity.

The vineyards are planted on fine gravel over limestone with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This Cru Bourgeois is located in the far north of the Haut-Médoc, in the immediate neighbourhood of the prominent Château Mouton Rothschild, and is always a first-class value-for-money recommendation.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
