Château Siran

Château Siran is an important Margaux estate that was once owned by the painter Toulouse-Lautrec`s great-grandmother. Since 1848 Siran has been owned by the Miailhe family and today it is owned and run by William-Alain B. Miailhe. Siran is classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur and is located in the far south of the Margaux appellation in the commune of Labarde.

Siran has 25 hectares of vineyards which are very well-sited on a high gravel ridge. They are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (30%), Petit Verdot (12%) and Cabernet Franc (8%). The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and the wine is then aged in small oak barrels (60% new) for 15-18 months.

Siran's wines are typically classic and elegant in character, displaying good ripeness of fruit, with hints of vanilla buttressed by smooth and almost seamless tannins. Guru oenologist Michel Rolland has been a consultant since 1995.
