Château Citran: A Storied Haut-Médoc Claret

Château Citran is a property steeped in history, one of the oldest in the Médoc, dating back to the 13th century. Holding the status of Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, this claret is a sublime representation of the Haut-Médoc appellation. It masterfully blends the classic varietals, resulting in a wine of notable finesse and structure. It offers satisfying drinking now, yet possesses the backbone for rewarding cellar ageing.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• Appearance: A deep, rich ruby hue with an alluring intensity.
• Bouquet: A complex nose that opens with bright red fruit (strawberry, cherry) and concentrated blackcurrant, beautifully interwoven with gentle sweet spices and a hint of fresh tobacco from its time in oak.
• Palate: The wine is elegant and straight on the palate. It has a lovely freshness on the attack, followed by a supple mid-palate and well-defined, soft tannins. The overall impression is one of balance and finesse, culminating in a long, satisfying finish with a touch of cedar.

Serving & Food Matching

We suggest serving this magnificent claret at 17-18°C (63°F). Decanting for an hour will allow the younger wines to fully express their aromatic complexity. It is an exceptional partner for traditional British game and classic roast dinners.
