Flowers, tobacco, cherries, mint, and herbs pop in the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, elegant, and already accessible. It is easy to find the freshness in the plums, and cherries with their chocolate accent. The soft-textures in the mid-palate, and in the finish seal the deal. You can open this with pleasure on release , and for more than a decade. The wine is a blend of 65% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Malbec. Drink from 2026-2036.

Siaurac 2023 zeigt eine angenehme Frische mit Noten von Kräutern, Eukalyptus sowie Nuancen von schwarzen Johannisbeeren. Der Wein ist fein und leicht cremig im Auftakt und wird von kompakten, cremigen und bestens eingebundenen Tanninen gestützt. Er zeigt einen schönen aromatischen Ausdruck vom Auftakt bis zum Finale. Ein einladender und köstlicher Wein.

Beautiful violet reflections, love the lift and the sap here, great quality, easy to love, showing tons of lift and juice. Austere at this early point, reflecting a Lalande with ambition, plenty to recommend. Made by the same team as Calon Ségur in St Estèphe, director Vincent Millet. director.

The 2023 Siaurac is immediately alluring. A wine of precision and class, the 2023 impresses with its striking purity and nuance. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange peel, spice, mint and lavender are all beautifully delineated. The Cabernet Franc is so expressive here. This is not a big wine, and it feels a bit closed on the palate, but its finesse is nonetheless captivating. Harvest started on September 8, among the earliest ever here, and finished on September 23. Tasted two times.

The 2023 Siaurac was picked from September 8 to 28 at 42hL/ha. It has a straightforward bouquet with red plum and raspberry fruit, quite airy and floral in style. The palate offers a dab of sour cherry on the entry—a lightweight, nimble Lalande-de-Pomerol with just a slight attenuation on the finish.

Dark ruby colour, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Floral, fresh cherries, a hint of cloves, candied orange zest. Medium body, fresh wild berries, fine fruit expression, juicy, round tannins, fresh structure, sweet cherries in the finish, a bal- anced, uncomplicated food wine.

A blend of 65% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 7% Malbec, the 2023 Siaurac exhales aromas of dark wild berries, mulberries and flowers, followed by a round, supple and juicy palate that concludes in a fresh, elegant and charming finish. Matured for 35% in barrels and 5% in amphorae (the rest in tanks), this is a lovely rendition of the 2023 vintage.
