Château Siran - Margaux 2020

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

This Margaux cru, situated on the beautiful Labarde gravel, has been run by Édouard Miailhe since 2007. Siran wines are always charming in their youth, and become more complex with age, with notes of old rose and spices giving them finesse and elegance. Siran wines could be described as Margaux classics. Since the 2015 vintage, we've noticed a certain shift in style, which now plays on the register of extreme power. To be continued.

Guide Hachette des vins

About the wine:

With its beautiful depth of color, Siran 2020 opens with engaging, complex aromas of ripe red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant), violets, undergrowth and spices. On the palate, it's straightforward, fresh, refined and elegant, with serious but not harsh tannins and a beautiful, dynamic, fruity finish. A clean, precise Margaux. 2027 - 2033

About the domain :

Formerly owned by Toulouse-Lautrec's great-grandmother, Ch. Siran came into the Miailhe family in 1859. Since 2007, Édouard Miailhe has held the keys to the estate. The vineyard extends over 36 ha: 9 ha in Bordeaux Supérieur, 2 ha in Haut-Médoc and 25 ha in Margaux, to the south of the appellation area, on the gravelly plateau of Labarde; a high-quality terroir that would undoubtedly have earned it a place in the famous 1855 classification had the Miailhe family arrived earlier.

About the wine:

We tasted the 2020, which lives up to all its promises and is going to establish itself as the best Siran we know. A wine that's very much in place, taut and precise, with great length and breed in the tannins. It can be forgotten in the cellar.

About the domain :

This well-situated Margaux cru deserves a place among the crus classés, especially as it has risen to its highest level under Edouard Miailhe. Its remarkable terroir, located in the most southerly commune of the appellation (Labarde), extends over a superb plateau of siliceous gravel. Tasting the old vintages that the château is fortunate enough to have in its vinothèque reveals the cru's full potential. The last decade has brought it to truly remarkable levels that will age wonderfully.

Wine Enthusiast

About the wine:

Barrel sample. All the elements are present in this wine from the southern end of Margaux. This is a very promising estate and the wine combines great tannins with richly defined black fruits. It will age well.

James Suckling

About the wine:

This wine is highly structured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and iodine. Full-bodied, concentrated and rigorous. It has great class and precision. An excellent Siran. To be tried after 2026.

Terre de Vins

About the wine:

The nose takes us to crushed strawberries and delicate notes of brandied cherries. A beautiful attack, rich, full and savory, heralds a wine that will stand the test of time. A Siran with a seductive architecture and aromatic palette.

Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing

About the wine:

Graphite and spices, slightly smoky, the nose of Siran 2020 is complex and fresh. The palate is fine and precise, fresh and delicate, for a margaux that's all delicacy, finesse and precision. All the delicacy of Margaux in this magnificent terroir. And what's more, it's elegantly fresh. A stylistic progression for this cru, which was already a fine benchmark.
