Viniou Reviews

Château Cissac 1997, Haut-Médoc

The Château Cissac 1997 is a distinguished "Cru Bourgeois" red wine from the renowned Haut-Médoc appellation, a subregion of Bordeaux. Known for its balanced blend primarily consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, this vintage benefits from the unique terroir marked by gravelly soils and a temperate maritime climate. The wine exhibits a remarkable structure with hints of ripe berries, cedar, and a touch of earthiness, characteristics typical of the Médoc wines. Established in the 18th century, Château Cissac has a rich heritage, and it is celebrated for its traditional vinification techniques that have been perfected over generations.

Pairing Suggestions

The Château Cissac 1997 pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as roasted lamb or beef, where the wine's tannins complement the richness of the meat. It also pairs well with duck breast or a hearty mushroom risotto. For a regional touch, consider serving it with entrecôte à la Bordelaise, a local specialty that resonates with the wine's Bordeaux roots, enhancing its fruity and leathery notes.

Tasting Advice

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of around 16-18°C (60-64°F). It's advisable to decant the wine for approximately 1-2 hours prior to serving, which will allow its complex aromas to fully develop. During tasting, observe its deep garnet hue, inhale to appreciate the evolving bouquet of dark fruits and spices, and savour the well-rounded palate that balances acidity with smooth tannins, finishing with a lingering, elegant aftertaste.
