Pomerol texture at a right-bank price you can actually justify. Siaurac is the largest estate in Lalande-de-Pomerol, the appellation just north of Pomerol that trades on the same plush, Merlot-driven charm for a fraction of the outlay — and its vineyard sits as a single block in Neac at the edge of the Pomerol plateau, barely a kilometer from the Barbanne stream that marks the Pomerol line, on a mosaic of gravel, deep clay and clayey sand. This 2022 is Merlot-led with Cabernet Franc and a splash of Malbec, aged 14 months in a three-way split of concrete, barrel and terracotta amphora, which is a deliberate bid for perfume and lift rather than oak weight. The property is farmed to High Environmental Value level 3 and converting to organic under the team that also runs Calon-Segur, so this is a wine in the middle of a serious upgrade. The estate calls it powerful yet elegant, with a spicy, floral bouquet and a velvety finish — that's their read from the early months of ageing, and it fits the house style exactly. Fun fact for the visitors: the 15-hectare park around the chateau was holds a 350-year-old holm oak.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Siaurac is a gorgeous, elegant Lalande-de-Pomerol. Crushed flowers, spice, new leather, pipe tobacco and spice all meld together in an effortless, pliant Lalande-de-Pomerol that hits all the right notes. Pretty floral and red berry fruit accents lift the finish. The balance here is exquisite." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"An elegant, lively wine, the 2022 Siaurac unfurls from the glass with notes of cassis, mulberries and dark berries mingled with lovely floral notes. Medium to full-bodied, round and enrobing, it's delicately fleshy and sweet, framed by velvety tannins and concluding with a long, fruity finish. More immediate than its 2021 predecessor, this will drink well young." —Yohan Castaing

Decanter

92 points

"Bright and full of strawberry and red cherry nuances on the nose, smells lively. Lovely fruit purity straight away, smooth, juicy and effortlessly enjoyable. A touch lighter in style than some other 2022s, straight and focused from start to finish, ending with more highly charged spices – liquorice, clove and bitter chocolate. Clearly concentrated but not at all overwhelming, with high acidity that keeps this fresh and upfront."

Wine Spectator

"Friendly and open in feel, with a brightness to the cherry and raspberry notes. Light red tea, tobacco and bramble hints pick up through the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Drink now through 2029." —James Molesworth

More about Chateau Siaurac

Lalande-de-Pomerol (LdP) is not the same as Pomerol. It's an adjacent appellation, but with sandier soils and less of the clay/gravel/iron combination that makes Pomerol so special. This makes for wines that are accessible when young, but without the potential for true greatness.

However, one part of LdP – the part that directly abuts Pomerol, in the commune of Néac – has soils that are very similar to Pomerol’s. Here there is more clay, more gravel, and even some iron. This is where Siaurac’s vines are located.

The potential for greatness was always there. 20 years ago, the wines were delicious, for sure, but not at the level that they could attain.

Now that has changed. Château Latour — the great traditionalist making first growth Bordeaux in Pauillac — took over in 2014. They converted the vineyard (it’s a single-vineyard château) to organics and biodynamics. They injected care and respect (but hardly any new oak) into the cellar. Quality has soared.
