🔎集五代人150年努力的Chateau Siran (雪蘭酒莊)，一支四平八隱的Margaux酒，前身是9家Cru BourgeoisExceoptionnel 之一👍，從17世紀便開始生產葡萄酒，是少數波爾多酒莊能避過轉手和被收購的命運，至今仍是由Miailhe家族管理。 Miaihe家族曾經擁有過Pichon Lalande、Palmer 和 Dauzac，來個溏心風暴後家族產業便分散了，Chateau Siran最終落入現在第五代掌舵人Edouard Miailhe手中，酒莊特別之處，就係Edouard父親由於感受到當時的核子危機，所以在興建酒窖時將其變成為能抵禦核子輻射的堡壘。另外酒莊門前插著菲律賓國旗🇵🇭，這源於Miailhe家族早已在菲律賓落地生根🌱，在當地經營貿易和房地產業務，Edouard原本亦長駐菲律賓打理家族業務，到了接管酒莊業務後，才舉家搬回法國，現在還時刻菲法兩邊走。Chateau Siran其中一個令酒友印象深刻，就係她的酒標跟Mouton一樣每年更換設計，直到2005年以後才維持不變。
💁🏻♀️酒莊總面積88公頃，當中36公頃為葡萄園。土壤為特殊礫石土🌱，葡萄藤平均樹齡為31年，經人手採收後會放入溫控不锈綱桶發酵，及後進行12個月木桶陳熟 (當中35%為新桶) 後才推出巿場。
💁🏻♂️近年酒莊一直在冒升，其巿場評價和分數也持續上升📈，由於Miailhe家族在1859年才接手酒莊，錯過了1855年分級的重要時刻，一家在分級時被遺忘了的酒莊只能眼定定望著鄰居 Giscours、Kirwan、Dauzac躍升為列級莊份子，酒莊正努力地証明自己也有具備列級莊的風土條件👍🏻。
📝實試報告:
Chateau Siran 集瑪歌柔滑細膩，同時兼顧了Cab Sauvignon 和Petit Verdot 的力度、骨架和酒體(尤其Petit Verdot增添了野性和力量💪🏻）成熟的草苺🍓，同時混集了黑果味道、草本🌱、雲尼拿、甘草、可可等，是一支均衡型的瑪歌酒。

This luscious, ripe wine is both balanced and generous. Acidity comes from the freshness of the vintage, bringing out fruitiness to complement the tannins. The wine will develop well.

The 2017 Siran has turned out beautifully. Dark and rich with tons of nuance, Siran is super expressive in 2017 in the mid-weight style of the vintage. Wild cherry, plum, dried flowers, mint, tobacco and smoke are all laced together in this pretty, inviting Margaux.

The 2017 Château Siran should certainly be an outstanding wine. Giving up lots of black fruits, charcoal, and graphite notes, it’s medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and with solid ripeness and depth. It’s an impressive effort from Margaux.

This is rather lovely, with excellent aromatics and fine tannins with a feeling of flex and precision. There is no question that the fruit has form and density, with focussed cassis and tobacco notes and some slate. This also lasts well on the palate. The fruit is at the fresher end of the scale, as is true across most wines in 2017, but it's clearly successful.

A tight, linear 2017 with compact fruit and seamless tannins that show length and beauty. Medium to full body. Lovely finish.

Features alluring black cherry and plum puree flavors gliding through, inlaid with subtle alder, lilac and black tea notes. Perfumy and velvety, with a suave finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

The 2017 Siran is deep garnet-purple in color and scented of baked black plums, cassis and kirsch with touches of spice cake and rose hip tea. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins and plenty of juicy fruit, finishing with a pleasant bit of chew.
