Variant

Robert M. Parker, Jr. for Robert Parker

The 2012 Cissac from the winemaker Vialard shows more fruit and density than in previous vintages. It is a cuvée of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot. Without the austerity that this vintage can have, this wine shows good minerality, a dense ruby/purple color, some cassis and surprising depth and maturity.

winery

Château Cissac is located between the two municipalities of Saint Estèphe and Pauillac in the village of the same name. The château is located in the Haut-Médoc region and is therefore classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. The château was purchased by Louis Vialard in 1940, and Marie Vialard has been managing the estate for several years. The wines from Château Cissac stand for elegance, balance and drinking pleasure.

The Château is known, among other things, for its charming castle surrounded by extensive vineyards and forests. The winery is committed to preserving its natural environment and sustainable wine production by combining traditional cultivation methods with modern techniques and is considered a symbol of quality, craftsmanship and authenticity.

The vineyards are covered with fine gravel over limestone and planted with the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This Cru Bourgeois is located in the very north of the Haut-Médoc in the immediate vicinity of the prominent Château Mouton-Rothschild andis always a first-class price-pleasure tip!
