Château Cissac, Cru Bourgeois Superieur Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, France, Jeroboam (5 litre), 2022

Grapes: A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 5.5% Petit Verdot & 2.5% Malbec, 100ha vineyard on sandy gravel over clay/limestone, yield 26hl/ha, aged 12-14 months in French oak barrels (25% new)

In Bordeaux, the "Jeroboam" format bottle contains 5 litres of wine (3 litres in Burgundy & Champagne)

Producer Tasting Note:

Deep purple, almost opaque robe, the nose is full of charming ripeness. A delicious compote of blackberry and black cassis fruits balanced with a delicious blueberry freshness. Tannin concentrations are associated with colours of rare intensity, while the Cissac terroir has maintained sufficient acidity to deliver an overall balance. 2022 is a vintage of true depth and richness!

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure and aromatic with violet, cassis and dark fruit with mild oak, fine tobacco, sage and bay leaf. Dense young fruit in a medim body, a classic structure, yet with fine grain and high ripeness, pure dark berry flavours with a mild oak underneath with a long and fresh finish."

91/100 points, Andreas Larsson - Tasted

"Soft, fresh, and polished, here you find layers of ripe, black cherries, and spice that already show well in this earthy, medium-bodied, vibrant, chewy wine. This is a nice step-up for the wine produced here." Drink from 2025-2040

90/100 points, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, May 2023

"A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 5.5% Petit Verdot and 2.5% Malbec, the 2022 Cissac confirms its evolution toward a charming, delicate bouquet of dark wild berries, smoke, licorice and cigar wrap. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, it has structured tannins, a fleshy, delicate core of fruit and a well-balanced finish with a spicy aftertaste. This is a real effort." Drink 2025-2032
