“Château Siran is a family property owned by the Miailhe family for over 160 years, purchased from the Toulouse-Lautrec family in 1859. Edouard Miailhe is the sixth generation of the Miailhe family and has been managing the estate since 2007. The vineyard, composed of 25 hectares in the heart of the Margaux appellation, is established on a ridge of fine siliceous gravel and benefits from the gentle topography of the Labarde plateau. On terroirs sloping towards the Gironde and facing east-west, Merlot slightly dominates the vineyard (46%); Cabernet Sauvignon (44%), Petit Verdot (9%) and Cabernet Franc (1%) complete it. The vineyard is certified as having high environmental value (HVE), in recognition of the work of preserving biodiversity that has been undertaken for years on the estate. Following parcel selection and fermentation in stainless steel vats, the wines are aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, fine grain, medium toast with one third new barrels. Both powerful and subtle, the wines of Siran always seek a balance between the softness of the tannins, the intensity of the fruit and a persistent freshness. The wines of Siran are known for their ageing potential, even long ageing that will delight the most patient.”
