Siran - Margaux 2019
Intro: The 2019 vintage of Château Siran is described as “a superb vintage, impressive in precision and density.” It offers classic Margaux elegance combined with ripeness, structure and freshness; dense in style yet refined in expression. This vintage marks the 160th year of family ownership by the Miailhe family at Château Siran. The vineyard’s soils: old alluvium topped by fine gravels; a “croupe” of gravel in Margaux which helps drainage and gives the wines a refined silkiness typical of the appellation.
