Château Citran: A Legacy of Haut-Médoc Excellence

Château Citran is a historic estate, with roots tracing back to the 13th century, establishing it as one of the Médoc’s venerable properties. As a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, this wine is a benchmark for the Haut-Médoc appellation, perfectly balancing the classic Bordeaux blend with a terroir of gravel and clay. It delivers a wine that is both elegant and structured, offering excellent aging potential while remaining approachable in its youth.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• Color: A deep, intense ruby color with vibrant purple highlights.
• Nose: The bouquet is expressive, featuring fresh red berries (cherry, cassis) and ripe black fruits (plum, blackberry), underscored by subtle spicy and vanilla notes from its barrel aging.
• Palate: The attack is clean and firm, leading to a medium-to-full body. The tannins are supple, precise, and well-integrated, providing a harmonious and balanced mouthfeel. The finish is persistent, fresh, and often shows refined notes of graphite and a light toast.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

To maximize the experience, we recommend decanting younger vintages for approximately one hour. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C). This wine is the perfect match for classic grilled meats and hearty, savory dishes, making it a must-have for your next dinner party or sophisticated barbecue.
