1975 Chateau Cissac Haut-Medoc

The 1975 vintage of Château Cissac Haut-Médoc is a remarkable example of both its era and the estate’s classic style. From one of Bordeaux’s hottest and driest growing seasons, this wine was born of small grapes with firm tannins, a structure built for long ageing. Half a century later, those tannins have mellowed into softness, delivering a wine that speaks of maturity and endurance.

As this wine reaches its exact 50-year milestone, it stands as both a collector’s piece and a thoughtful gift for golden anniversaries, milestone birthdays or the wine enthusiast who appreciates mature Bordeaux. Its provenance adds further allure, coming from a carefully cellared private collection. Though the labels show some signs of time, the wine has been preserved impeccably and is ready to deliver a memorable experience.

Pairing Suggestions:

This wine is best enjoyed with simple, elegant dishes that allow its maturity to shine: roast lamb with rosemary, beef daube or game bird with earthy accompaniments. For a more contemplative tasting, it can be savoured on its own, allowing its history and evolution to be fully appreciated.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of dried fruit, leather, cedar and tobacco lead to a palate that is soft and resolved, with gentle echoes of cassis, spice and earthy minerality. The finish lingers with subtle elegance, a testament to its 50 years of careful ageing.
