EN-PRIMEUR: We have been importing Ch. Cissac through the traditional En-Primeur system for many years now, with their classic Bordeaux blend proving one of our most successful customer favourites. The 2025 iteration is poised to be one of the even better vintages which will be deeply enjoyed from go to whoa. $33 in 2 Dozen$35 in 1 Dozen Discounts automatically applied at checkout, or email [email protected] due with order - wines due June 2028 I recently visited Cissac and tasted with extremely competent and talented winemaker and manager Laurent Saint Pasteur. He is happier with the yields of 2025 but at double that of 2024 they were still only 20 h/l per ha (less than 1.4 t/acre)! These low yields and the warm and sunny finish to the "coolish" season gave deeply coloured and deeply concentrated wines with real richness and class. See the Decanter review below that mentions the exceptional tannin and acid structure in these wines. The Cissac vineyards border St. Estephe to the north and apart from a small forest Lafite, Pontet Canet and Mouton Rothschild to the East. The vines are about 45yo average age and the wine is aged in 80% small barrels (20% new) and the rest in amphora and large foudres. To drink or to cellar this is prime value at this remarkable "direct from Chateau" price. It's one of the very best Cissacs ever! Cheers, Randall. “Spicy and linear nose, showing a great breed. Excellent concentration of fruit on the palate. Classic cassis, graphite and mint notes. Precise tannins and vertical acidity. Very elegant and focused. Outstanding ageing potential here. 5% of Malbec complete the blend.” 93 Pts. - Decanter “Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Elegant nose with precision and freshness, elegant fruit. On the palate well structured with ripe fruit, quoting the nose, elegant character, persistent finish with fragrant character, excellent length. Blackcurrants, blackberries, wild strawberries, subtle oak. A very fine wine.” 92+ Pts. - Markus Del Monego MW “A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5%Malbec, the 2025 Cissac reveals a slightly introverted yet elegant bouquet marked by lead pencil and dark fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, dense, tense and linear, it shows a distinctly Médocain profile, with a firm, well-structured tannic frame and good length. This is a wine for the cellar.” 90-92 Pts. -Wine Advocate
