Description
A balanced and elegant red wine from Lalande de Pomerol
The estate
Château Siaurac is located at the end of the Pomerol plateau, in Néac, in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation. The château represents three centuries of history and is established on the edge of the Barbane on the border of Pomerol.
The vineyard
The 46.18-hectare vineyard is planted in a mosaic of soils made up of gravel, deep clay and clayey sand. This exceptional Lalande-de-Pomerol vineyard is divided into 40 plots in one piece. The vineyard is in full organic conversion and already certified High Environmental Value 3. The vines are aged by 30 years on average.
The vintage
The historically rainy winter was followed by a hot and humid spring. The hard work done by the château’s teams allowed for good soil management and protected the vines against various pressures. The hot and dry conditions from mid-May incited a flowering which ranked amongst the earliest. From 19 June, the rain gave way to cool and dry weather up to the start of ripening in mid-July. Although the summer was hot and dry, the stormy episodes in mid-August were beneficial for healthy vine development and berry ripening. Harvests began about 10 days in advance compared to recent years.
The winemaking and ageing
Ageing for 14 months, up to 40% in barrels and 60% in concrete tanks.
Blend
Château Siaurac 2020 is made of a blend of Merlot (76%), Cabernet Franc (21%), Malbec (3%).
Tasting
Tasted en primeur, Château Siaurac 2020 reveals a nose with notes of small black fruits and sweet spices. The greatly precise palate seduces with its smooth touch and hearty balance, as well as its intense aromatic palate and elegant freshness.
