Château Siran - 1985 - Château Siran
Ref: A048585
Grand Cru Exceptionnel, Labarde, Margaux

The 1985 is drinking superbly now with layer upon layer of ripe cedarwood character. It is relatively full bodied with an elegant fruit and well integrated, and softened tannins. Showing all the advantages of fully mature grapes. Intense bouquet with flattering black and red fruits fragrances with a delicate hint of vanilla. Full, opulent and round with perfectly ripe tannins on the palate. An excellently balanced wine with an elegant enduring finish. For drinking now.

One of our very favourite châteaux making some splendid Margaux of undoubted ‘cru classé’ quality. Originally in the ownership of the Comtes de Lautrec (remember Toulouse?), it has been in the hands of the Miailhe family for four generations. The 40 hectares of vineyard have recently had a new drainage system installed and, since the 1992 vintage, extensive green harvesting has been practised between July and September.

Average yields totter around 45 hectolitres per hectare and, since the 1995 vintage, Brigitte Miailhe has employed
Michel Rolland as wine-making consultant and there can be no doubt that this wine has an extra dimension that we have not seen before at Siran.
