One of the best values in Bordeaux, the 2019 vintage is classic. In the hands of the Vialard family since 1895, Chateau Cissac, classified as Cru Bourgeois, was one of the most popular Bordeaux in Europe during the last century. Completely modernized, the recent vintages are amazing for a Chateau that sells for under $20 a bottle. A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot from the nexus of two of the most prestigious appellations in the Medoc: Saint-Estephe and Pauillac. Just a few kilometers west of Grand Cru Pontet-Canet, Lafite, and Cos d’Estournel, it shares terroir with the most pedigreed houses in the Haut Medoc. Unlike those $500+ wines, you can approach Chateau Cissac early with a 1-2 hour decant.
"This is a refined wine, elegantly structured and already showing a fine equilibrium between fruit and tannins. Its wood aging is also beginning to smooth the fruit's vibrancy. It has great promise and long-term aging. Cellar Selection." The Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
