Château Siaurac 2025

Gorgeous aromatics with a subtle iodine-inflected freshness set the tone. This Lalande-de-Pomerol shows refinement in its tannic extraction, carefully managed by Vincent Millet, also at the helm of Calon-Ségur. The élevage in 80% concrete preserves a clear sense of fruit. Notes of damson and forest strawberry are layered with a delicate hint of rose stem. The finish is long and composed—an understated success of the vintage. Tasted twice with similarly positive impressions.

Located in a prime spot in Néac, one of the two communes of Lalande-de-Pomerol. It opens with cranberries and sweet raspberry pastille, struggles a little to keep its momentum, but it’s easygoing and charming—no need to wait. Harvest ran from September 2 to 9. Yield: 36 hl/ha.

Notes of peonies, black pepper and blueberries lend harmony to the bouquet. Creamy on the attack, the wine shows energy and freshness. It has silky tannins with texture, in keeping with the structuring character of the acidity. A fresh, flavorful wine.

Violets, wild berries and a hint of cola on the nose; a light, fresh palate with delicate fruit, perfectly measured fine tannins, oak subtly in the background, already approachable now, with a fruity, fresh finish of blood orange.
