"Intense dark purple core. Layered and complex aroma. Still youthful, but with layers of black currant, dark plum, cherry, smoke, chocolate and gently toasted oak. Excellent density on the palate, still youthful but ripe tannins and extract, savory dark fruit with notes of sage and mint, integrated wood and a long lingering finish." 92 points out of 100, Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Château Siaurac
Château Siaurac was founded in the early 17th century by Mr. Ciorac, after whom the château is named. In 1832, the property was acquired by Pierre Brisson, who later passed it on to his son Benjamin Brisson. Under Brisson's leadership, the château became the largest of its kind in the region.
The vines consist of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, with 20% of the barrels being new.
Since 2014, Château Siaurac has gradually implemented organic and biodynamic farming methods, with official recognition granted in 2020. As of September 2020, the estate is owned by the Suravenir Insurance group
