Château Siran 2022

The finesse and balance of a Margaux red wine

The property

Owned by the Miailhe family for over 160 years, the Château Siran is one of the emblematic references of the Margaux appellation. Château Siran was already renowned for the quality of its wines as early as the 18th century.

The vineyard

Château Siran 2022 is a Margaux wine from a 25-hectare vineyard, superbly located on soils composed of gravel and pebbles. The vines, averaging 38 years old, rest on hillocks made up of ancient alluvium and covered with fine clayey gravel. The vineyard is managed using sustainable viticulture and without chemical herbicides.

The wine

The 2022 label of Château Siran pays a vibrant tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, marking her jubilee and celebrating the indelible mark she leaves in history. Designed in collaboration with English artist Damian Elwes, it illustrates his work Sunlight on the Thames near Windsor, a luminous tribute to Her Majesty. This initiative is part of the family tradition of creating unique labels inspired by significant events. After themes such as space exploration or the joy of life post-pandemic, this vintage reflects elegance and emotion, while saluting an emblematic figure of an exceptional reign.

Vinification and aging

Fermentation is carried out in thermoregulated stainless steel vats of 60 to 180hl, accompanied by pumping over and racking according to the batches. Maceration at 26 to 28°C for 8 to 10 days. Malolactic fermentation is partly done in barrels. The aging lasts 12 months in French oak barrels (of which 35% are new).
