Sunday Magnum: Château Cissac 2010

This Sunday's offering is magnums of Château Cissac 2010.

Château Cissac is known for reliability and restraint, and the 2010 vintage is an especially fine example. Blackcurrant, cedar, and savoury spice are supported by firm but composed tannins, now softened by time into a stately presence. The château, family-owned since the late 19th century, has maintained a reputation for producing wines of consistency and classic Médoc character. In a year as exceptional as 2010, even this traditionally modest estate delivered something remarkable. The wine remains honest and unpretentious, offering depth without ostentation and standing as a clear expression of the Haut-Médoc.
