Château Cissac
Ever since 1793 the Vialard family have been closely linked to the Haut-Médoc, as winemakers for two of the Châteaux that would later become two of the greatest First Growths, namely that of Chateau Latour & Chateau Lafite.
By 1885 they had established themselves at Château Cissac near Pauillac producing Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel.
This well-known property located on the outskirts of Pauillac is an excellent Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux, probably equal in quality to the aforementioned Cru Classé wines selling at many times the price.
Located in the northern-most Haut-Médoc appellation, the property and appellation share a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds.
The family Vialard have always been renowned for their traditional winemaking and consistent quality. Each vintage is Château bottled, of course making up 25,000 cases per year.
The soil, less diverse than in the Médoc, is predominantly sandy, with gravel. Château Cissac is classified as a Cru Bourgeois.
