| Haut Medoc, Bordeaux Attractive aromas of crushed blackberries and violets. Full- to medium-bodied, with firm, slightly austere tannins and a medium finish. Score range: 85-88 Wine Spectator Perfumed rich ripe nose with a hint of honey and some blackberry fruit. Not well married on the palate at the moment. Only time well tell. Drink 2003." Decantor Magazine In 1899, the Mondon family bought Château Abiet in the parish of Cissac. During the same year Château Abiet and Château Martiny were amalgamated and Château Cissac was born. In 1940, Angèle Mondon died and her grand-children - the children of her daughter Germaine Mondon, who had married the lawyer, Antoine Vialard of Pauillac, inherited properties as follows: - Antoinette and Marie Vialard inherited Château Clerc Milon jointly - Their brother Jacques Vialard, lawer in Pauillac, inherited Château Anseillan and the legal practice - Louis Vialard inherited Château Cissac. Château Clerc Milon and Château Anseillan were subsequently sold to two branches of the Rothschild family. More information at http://www.chateau-cissac.com/ |

| "A supremely elegant, dense purple-colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well-delineated, and medium to full-bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4-5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025." -Rated 91, Robert Parker |

| "A seamless, pretty '96 claret. Extremely fruity aromas of plums and blackberries. Medium-bodied, with polished tannins and silky texture. Best after 2001. 14,000 cases made." -Rated 90, Wine Spectator "This is unquestionably a profound Grand-Puy-Lacoste, but it is excruciatingly backward. It reveals an essence of creme de cassis character which sets it apart from other Pauillacs. The wine is displaying plenty of tannin, huge body, and sweet black currant fruit intermixed with minerals and subtle oak. Massive, extremely structured, and with 25-30 or more years of longevity, this immensely-styled Grand-Puy-Lacoste will require 7-8 years of patience, perhaps longer. A superb, classic Pauillac. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030." -Rated 93, Robert Parker |

| One of the leading Pomerol properties and now run and administered by Jean-Pierre Moueix of Pétrus and Trotanoy fame. It consists of just under 8 hectares of vineyards split in to two plots: the first is known as Les Grandes Vignes and is located on a gravel outpost next to the Church of Pomerol. The second plot lies on sandy, lighter soils and is to be found on the western side of the Pomerol plateau. The grapes (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc) are hand harvested and then fermented in temperature controlled concrete vats. The wine is then matured in small oak barrels (50% new) for 18 months. It is bottled unfiltered. Latour á Pomerol produces sumptuous, meaty, concentrated and full-bodied Pomerols that often require at least 10 years of cellaring. In the context of other top class Pomerols they remain underpriced. "This is an excellent, forward, complex Pomerol with creamy opulence on the mid-palate and a complex nose of cedar, licorice, plum, black cherries, and a hint of herbaceousness. The sweet, fleshy, sexy, seductive style will be popular with many tasters. Drink it over the next 12 years." - Rated 89, Robert Parker |
