History and Winemaking
Château Cissac, an ancient estate with a long-standing winemaking tradition, now thrives under the care of Marie Vialard, a direct descendant of the original owners. Located in the heart of the Médoc, the estate borders prestigious appellations such as Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac. The vineyard team focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, blending it with Merlot and Petit Verdot to create structured and expressive wines. They work with deep respect for the climate, soil, and heritage of the region, while also embracing modern techniques to improve quality and depth.
