Winemaker Notes
Subtle alliance of Men and Terroir. A wet, mild winter and spring followed by a hot, dry summer have given Margaux another great vintage, making five out of the last six harvests special. Rich and opulent Merlots, sparse and precise Cabernets Sauvignon and perfectly ripe Petits Verdot gave us a wine with fruit and freshness, with melted tannins, bringing suave and plushness to the wine. To be drunk young or aged, it will offer the drinker a real pleasure, as only Margaux knows how to do in great vintages.In keeping with family tradition, each label bears a different theme: the drawing by the Franco-Chilean artist ‘Ode à la vie’ for the 2020 vintage evokes the joie de vivre rediscovered after the pandemic.
Blend: 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc

96Wine Enthusiast
All the elements are showing well in this wine from the southern end of Margaux. It’s an estate that is showing great promise and the wine brings together great tannins and richly delineated black fruits. It will age well.
Barrel Sample: 94-96
95James Suckling
This is seriously structured with blackcurrants, blueberries and iodine. It’s full yet so tight and focused with serious austerity and focus. Very classy and polished with precision. A terrific Siran.
93Decanter
This is powerful and juicy with well balanced, opulent berry fruits – easy to fall in love with. This really is one of the few that has tannins that feel well caressed by the fruits, and the slightly higher than average alcohols gives a flattering feel through the mid palate. Nice job from winemaker Marjolaine Defrance and owner Edouard Miahle (who is now president of AOC Margaux, having succeeded Gonzague Lurton).
92Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Siran features notes of blackcurrant jelly, ripe redcurrants and raspberry leaves, plus suggestions of wild sage, tar and underbrush, with a waft of wild mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing, delivering approachable, soft tannins and plenty of red berry layers, finishing earthy.
Barrel Sample: 90-92
92Jeb Dunnuck
Lots of red and blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and leafy tobacco notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Siran, a medium-bodied, elegant, incredibly pretty and finesse-driven Margaux. It shows the fresher, elegant style of the vintage and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish.
92Wine Spectator
A ripe but understated style, with alluring notes of black tea and cedar shavings infusing a core of gently mulled black cherry and plum fruit. The sneaky long finish is silky and refined. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Best from 2025.
