The brilliance and precision of a Margaux wine

The estate

Founded in 1428, Château Siran is one of the oldest estates in the Bordeaux region. Owned by the Miailhe family for more than 160 years, the estate is today brilliantly run by Édouard Miailhe. With a 25-hectare vineyard, this iconic cru has made its mark over the centuries thanks to an exceptional family continuity. Open to the public and dedicated to passing on its expertise, this essential estate produces wines renowned for their elegance and consistency, perfectly reflecting the identity of its prestigious terroir.

The vineyard

Located in the south of the Margaux appellation, the vineyard stretches across a ridge rising to 12 metres above sea level, on the edge of the Gironde estuary. This privileged terroir, composed of ancient alluvial deposits covered with fine siliceous gravel and sand, benefits from a temperate oceanic climate and an ideal east-west exposure. The 37 plots, with an average age of 39 years and the oldest vines dating back to 1920, are planted at a high density of 10,000 vines per hectare. The estate practises sustainable viticulture, without any chemical herbicides. The soils are worked mechanically, while double Guyot pruning, debudding, leaf thinning and yield limitation ensure grapes of optimum quality.

The wine

The label of Château Siran 2025 pays tribute to the nine women who, since the estate's founding in 1650, have discreetly shaped and passed on its history. They are Flore du Boscq, Jeanne Félicité du Boscq, Marie Laroque Bouillac, Jeanne Adèle de Toulouse Lautrec, Lovely Miailhe, Adèle Miailhe, Victoria Miailhe and Brigitte Miailhe. The artist Jehanne de Biolley captures their essence through a poetic rebus of timeless symbols, evoking elegance and transmission. A vibrant tribute to these silent guardians of a living heritage.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes used for Château Siran 2025 are hand-harvested into small crates, then rigorously sorted in the vineyard as well as in the cellar on dedicated sorting tables. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats ranging from 60 to 180 hectolitres, punctuated by pump-overs. A post-fermentation maceration is carried out at 26°C for 8 to 14 days, followed by malolactic fermentation partly conducted in new barrels. Finally, the wine is aged for 12 months in fine-grained French oak barrels with medium toasting, 33% of which are new. Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties

This wine is made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot.
