Chateau Siran Margaux 2021

Chteau siran has a history in the medoc that dates back to 1428, making it one of the oldest estates in margaux . The property took its name from saint siran. At one point in time, chateau siran was owned by the touloues lautrec family. The owners were the grandparents of the famous french painter. Chateau siran has been the property of the miailhe family since 1858, having purchased the estate from the lautrec family. Chateau siran has retained their artistic roots. Similar to what chateau mouton rothschild does in pauillac each year with their labels, chateau siran also creates a new label each vintage that features a different artist.

In late 2014, chateau siran finished a complete renovation and modernization of their cellars and wine making facilities along with their museum. The museum, which is worth a trip to see has a stunning collection of wine related objects including several ancient amphores, the oldest of which can be dated all the way back to 300 bc. If you’re visiting chateau siran, be sure to ask to see the only wine cellar in bordeaux built to withstand a nuclear explosion, or the failure of the nuclear plant in blayais. The bomb shelter, which is really just used as a cellar to store their oldest bottles was built during the 1980’s.
