2016 CISSAC / 希碩 (斯薩克)
Something about Chateau Cissac 2016
Château Cissac is located right in the heart of the Médoc region. Its exceptional terroir adjoins that of the prestigious Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac appellations, extending over an area of around a hundred hectares. The soil is mainly sandy gravel on top of clay and limestone, and the vineyards occupy a single tract of land which is sheltered by the village of Cissac and the forests which surround it. In keeping with Médoc tradition, the vineyards are mainly planted with their traditional variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. This variety is ideally suited to the type of terroir in Cissac, where its strength and aromas can realise their full potential. Blended with elegant Merlots and spicy Petit Verdots, Cabernet Sauvignon produces wines that are particularly complex and expressive.

FROM THE
EXPERTS
Precise, focused blackcurrant fruit with a touch of plummy fruit too. Smooth texture, almost full body, slight wisps of smoke on the finish. Has all the classic build of bordeaux, and should develop complexity as that fruit intensity evolves over time.
A tight red with currant and plum character, a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Another solid red from here. Mar 17
The 2016 Cissac has an attractive, quite lively and vivacious bouquet with well defined blackberry and blueberry fruit, commendable mineralité and tension developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, crisp acidity, good grip in the mouth with a focused and quite long finish. This is an excellent contribution to the vintage from Château Cissac and it should be (fingers crossed) good value.
