Description:

Owned by the Miailhe family for over 160 years, Château Siran has been renowned for the quality of its wines since the 18th century.
Located in the Margaux appellation, Château Siran reigns over a 25-hectare vineyard with a superb setting in gravel and pebble soils. The vines are planted on outcroppings of old alluvial soils, covered with fine clayey gravel. The vineyard is managed with sustainable viticulture and without chemical herbicides.
The 2020 vintage celebrates the 160th harvest of the Miailhe family at Château Siran. To mark this special occasion, the estate is reviving its artistic tradition and will henceforth unveil a new label for each vintage which portrays a major event that occurred over the past year.

Tasting Note:
Ripe plummy fruit on the nose, with lightly sweet spices and a hint of violet to add some complexity. The palate is juicy and intense, bursting with red and blue fruit. The acidity is bright and cuts through the fleshy fruit, propped up by silky, persistent tannins. Ripe but well-judged with a long finish.

Critical Acclaim:

96 Pts Wine Enthusiast
All the elements are showing well in this wine from the southern end of Margaux. It's an estate that is showing great promise and the wine brings together great tannins and richly delineated black fruits. It will age well.

95 Pts James Suckling
This is seriously structured with blackcurrants, blueberries and iodine. It’s full yet so tight and focused with serious austerity and focus. Very classy and polished with precision. A terrific Siran.

93 Pts Decanter
This is powerful and juicy with well balanced, opulent berry fruits - easy to fall in love with. This really is one of the few that has tannins that feel well caressed by the fruits, and the slightly higher than average alcohols gives a flattering feel through the mid palate. Nice job from winemaker Marjolaine Defrance and owner Edouard Miahle (who is now president of AOC Margaux, having succeeded Gonzague Lurton).

92 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Siran features notes of blackcurrant jelly, ripe redcurrants and raspberry leaves, plus suggestions of wild sage, tar and underbrush, with a waft of wild mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing, delivering approachable, soft tannins and plenty of red berry layers, finishing earthy. 

92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
Lots of red and blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and leafy tobacco notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Siran, a medium-bodied, elegant, incredibly pretty and finesse-driven Margaux. It shows the fresher, elegant style of the vintage and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish.

92 Pts Wine Spectator
A ripe but understated style, with alluring notes of black tea and cedar shavings infusing a core of gently mulled black cherry and plum fruit. The sneaky long finish is silky and refined. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
