Fermentation took place in both stainless steel and wooden vats, which brought out the best in each parcel of fruit, imparting subtle oak complexity. Exceptionally low fermentation temperatures resulted in good extraction while preserving the vibrant fruit and natural sweetness from the ripe berries. The wine was aged for 16 to 18 months in oak casks, of which 30% was new French oak. 

The vines of Chateau Cissac are situated on a plateau with soil composed of gravel deposits from the Garonne River from the Bunz-Mindel period, over chalk. It is located at an altitude of 27.5 meters above sea level, equivalent to the highest points of the neighboring appellations, Saint Estephe and Pauillac. Integrated pest management takes place throughout the vineyard, along with leaf thinning mechanically and manually in part of the vineyard, tillage of the soil and the planting of grass cover between the vines.
