In Bond Fine Wine. 2022 Château Siran, Margaux, Bordeaux, France. Cru bourgeois • Red Bordeaux in 6x75cl. Top critic score: 94/100 (JA). Drinking window: 2027–2047. Sold in bond by Albany Vintners, independent fine wine merchants.
Situated in the heart of Margaux, Château Siran has been in the Miailhe family for over 150 years and was once linked to Château Palmer and Pichon Lalande. Since 2008, sixth-generation owner Edouard Miailhe has overseen a complete renovation, raising quality to new heights while keeping prices remarkably modest. The final blend is often close to that of Palmer with equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot for spice. The result: perfumed aromatics, supple berry fruit, fine tannins, and the elegance and finesse of top-flight Margaux.

The 2022 Siran, bottled in May 2024, offers brambly red fruit with touches of sous-bois, pressed flowers and cedar. It opens nicely in the glass with suggestions of dark chocolate in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and accents of black pepper and clove. This wine surprisingly comes across a little Saint-Julien in style, and is somewhat austere for the first ten min…
