Château Cissac Cru Bourgeois Supérieur 2017
The Château Cissac Cru Bourgeois Supérieur 2017 is a varietal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (66%), Merlot (29%) and Petit Verdot (5%) grapes. The vines average 34 years in age and are situated on a plateau located at an altitude of 27.5 metres above sea level, equivalent to the highest points of the neighbouring appellations, Saint Estèphe and Pauillac. At the winery, fermentation took place in both stainless steel and wooden vats, which brought out the best in each parcel of fruit, imparting subtle oak complexity. Exceptionally low fermentation temperatures resulted in good extraction while preserving the vibrant fruit and natural sweetness from the ripe berries. The wine was aged for 14 to 16 months in oak casks, of which 30% was new French oak. Aromas of ripe blackberries are complemented by a hint of spice from the Petit Verdot. The ripe, firm tannins are balanced by freshness on the palate, through to a long, elegant finish.
