Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, April 2012

48% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon, 11% petit verdot, and 1% cabernet franc. Aged for 12 months in approximately 35% new oak. Restrained aromas on the nose of bright red cherry, red currant, and loganberry. The palate offers subtle vanilla, bright red forest fruit, and freshly picked herb flavors. This is a complex wine showing great restraint. Lighter-bodied, yet showing great balance, this should prove rewarding while young.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, April 2012

The Siran 2011 is a blend of 52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc picked from 8th until 27th September. Following on from their successful 2010, it has a well defined bouquet with lovely floral notes, fresh strawberries and a touch of cedar. It is very composed. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannins on the entry, good acidity, fresh and vibrant with a crisp, fresh finish that bodes well for the future. Siran is back on form.

Nice fleshy feel here, with succulent plum and blackberry fruit that stays pure through the black tea-infused finish. Fine mineral thread flitters through the finish as well.-J.M.

About Winery

In 1859 the château became the property of the Miailhe family of wine professionals. The vineyards of the estate, situated on the plateau of Labarde in the Margaux appellation, are entirely surrounded by classed growth of 1855. Several authorities and critics have opined that had the wines of Siran been presented for classification in the 1855 exhibit, Siran would have made into the precious classification.

Subsequently, since the mid 19th century, the family's descendents followed one another in full respect of the family tradition. In 2007, the family's fifth generation, represented by Edouard Miailhe, become involved in the management of the estate, following its parents Brigitte and William-Alain Miailhe.

Château Siran is one of the rare Bordeaux châteaux to belong to the same family for nearly 150 years.
