Tasting Notes

A medium-bodied red, showing plum and light chocolate character with some orange peel. Slightly hard tannins, but good intensity for the vintage.

Score: 89 - 90 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 May 2022

The 2021 Cissac offers plenty of black cherries and raspberry on the nose, displaying good concentration and more attack than many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, good grip and a lightly spiced finish. Drink over the next decade.

For many years, this estate, situated to the west of Pauillac, produced chewy, austere wines, but today more work in the vineyards and greater attention to optimal maturity is delivering more charm. The 2021 Cissac is a solid effort, exhibiting aromas of cassis, violets and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, lively palate framed by powdery tannins.
