Château Sissan

Cadillac – Côtes de Bordeaux

The conquering spirit of Côtes de Bordeaux

In 1990, the Yung family, who also own Château Grimont in the same appellation, bought Château Sissan in the hills of Camblanes, in South-East Bordeaux. Behind the immense wrought-iron gates, along a shaded path, a beautiful limestone facade comes into view, in the true neoclassical architectural style of 18th century Bordeaux.
The terroir boasts many advantages, with several small gravel plots located on the slopes.

Today, two brothers, Paul and Jean Yung, have not skimped on the necessary investments to elevate Château Sissan among the finest in the appellation. The wines display the same generous character of the owners, all the elegance of this beautiful 18th century residence and the typical smooth character of the undulating soils of Côtes de Bordeaux.
