The 2025 Siran was picked 5 to 22 September at 32 hl/ha and matured in one-third new oak barrels. Tasted twice, it has a glorious, you could say "joyful" bouquet with plenty of energy: blackberry, blueberry, touches of violet and an underlying citrus verging on blood orange scent. The palate is medium-bodied with pleasing sapidity on the entry. Certainly more muscular and dense than the preceding vintage, it maintains precision and elegance, gambolling along to a finish that feels "complete", even at this prenatal stage. Siran has an unerring and, I dare say, under-appreciated ability to age over the long term, proven by a 1926 drunk twice during en primeur. No doubt this has similar longevity, though perchance more approachability, and can be enjoyed after four or five years.
Cassis and bilberry fruits, juicy, grilled oak, this has some pretty intense mid-palate expansion and yet retains an unfussy quality with ripe fruit, well balanced, sweet red pepper and Margaux floral character. Yield 32 hl/ha, Edouard Miailhe owner.
