Château Siran - Margaux 2022

Bettane & Desseauve

About the estate:

This Margaux estate, located on the beautiful gravel soils of Labarde, has been managed by Édouard Miailhe since 2007. Siran’s wines are always charming in their youth and develop greater complexity with age, notably featuring notes of old-fashioned roses and spices that lend them finesse and elegance. Siran’s wines could be classified as Margaux classics. Since the 2015 vintage, there has been a noticeable shift in style, which now leans more toward extreme power. One to watch.

Decanter

About the wine:

Concentrated, juicy, and fresh, this wine brilliantly combines aromas of ripe summer red fruits with a minty freshness and fine, structured tannins, offering beautiful fullness on the palate and a long finish. Far from being opulent, it stands out for its elegant and dynamic structure. A harmonious and refined wine, rich in aromas, with a slightly briny finish and a hint of licorice. A complex and alluring wine. Best enjoyed between 2026 and 2045.

Guide Hachette des vins

About the estate:

Formerly owned by Toulouse-Lautrec’s great-grandmother, Château Siran became part of the Miailhe family in 1859. Since 2007, Édouard Miailhe has been at the helm. The vineyard spans 36 hectares: 9 hectares of Bordeaux Supérieur, 2 hectares of Haut-Médoc, and 25 hectares of Margaux, located in the southern part of the appellation on the gravelly plateau of Labarde; a terroir of such high quality that it would undoubtedly have earned the estate a place in the famous 1855 classification had the Miailhe family arrived earlier.

About the wine:

We certainly can’t fault the estate for its most recent vintages. The 2022 is so delicious that it could write a new chapter in the estate’s history. It offers fresh fruitiness, a full mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a long, refined finish.

About the estate:

This superbly situated Margaux estate would more than deserve a place among the classified growths, especially since, under the stewardship of Edouard Miailhe, it has risen to its highest level of quality. Its remarkable terroir, located in the appellation’s southernmost commune (Labarde), stretches across a superb plateau of siliceous gravel. Tasting older vintages—which the château is fortunate enough to have in its cellar—reveals the full potential of this estate. Over the past decade, it has reached truly remarkable levels and will age beautifully.

Wine Enthusiast

About the wine:

Renowned for its unique labels, this wine commemorates Queen Elizabeth II. Produced at a vineyard south of Margaux, it is rich, bursting with black fruit, and features dense tannins. It offers aromas of licorice, a lovely fruity character, and excellent aging potential. Best enjoyed starting in 2029. — Roger Voss

James Suckling

About the wine:

Aromas of pencil lead and dark fruits are very pronounced and aromatic. A medium-bodied to full-bodied wine with juicy fruit aromas, velvety tannins, and a long, flavorful finish. Creamy and elegant, it needs 2 or 3 years of aging. Best enjoyed after 2028.

Le Figaro vins

About the wine:

A dark and mysterious nose, reminiscent of Mont Blanc’s “Midnight Blue” ink, with fragrant black fruits and a hint of floral sap. On the palate, an incredibly smooth texture, still marked by floral notes. Magnificent. 2030–2055
