Haut-Médoc AOC Cru Bourgeois

Scoring this lively, fine-grained claret 91 points, critic James Suckling described it as "clean, crisp and flavorful", with a "pretty nose". Maturation in part new oak barrels for 20 months lends notes of vanilla to the freshness of the fruit.

The Story Behind the Bottle

For five generations the Vialard family have been making outstanding, age-worthy clarets in the Haut-Médoc. Recognised for its consistent quality, Château Cissac is undoubtedly “the pillar of the bourgeoisie” (Hugh Johnson). Crafting exceptional wines, the Vialard’s also offer some of the best value in Bordeaux. Like the wines from next-door regions Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac, this cuvée has intense, lively red fruits, with a structure that promises good ageing potential, all at a sensible price. Constantly outperforming its classification, this claret is complex with good depth of fruit, thanks to a top vintage. It’s a classic blend of Cabernet, Merlot and spicy Petit Verdot, infused with oak, that’ll improve with time, if you can resist!
