Chateau Siran — Winery in Labarde

Château Siran isn't the best-known name in the Médoc, and that's exactly why you should go. Here you'll find Margaux quality without the waiting lists and price tags of the big names, in a château full of surprises. The Chai des Collections: an exceptional space with more than 300 historic objects and works of art on the theme of wine, collected by Brigitte and Alain Miailhe. A real archaeological and artistic museum, with 2,000 years of wine history in one room. The panoramic terrace overlooks the Margaux vineyards and the Gironde estuary; lunch is served here too, a chef's picnic board with salad, charcuterie, cheese, mini sandwiches and dessert, with a bottle of your choice from the shop. The nuclear shelter is the absolute highlight of the visit: deep beneath the château is a real nuclear fallout shelter, built to protect the wine library. It holds 30,000 bottles, with vintages going back to 1912, and you can taste a vertical of vintages in this unique setting. There's even an escape game in the bunker, the first and only escape game in the Gironde in an authentic nuclear shelter: you're surrounded by old vintages of Château Siran as you try to unravel the riddles of the family archive.
