Chateau Citran 2016 75cl

Tasting Note

“The 2016 Citran is medium garnet-purple colored with scents of cassis, plums, menthol and earth with touches of pencil lead. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy, firm and grainy, finishing with an herbal lift.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Producer

The Donissan de Citran family owned this estate in the 13th century until 1832, when the last heir had to sell the estate to Mr. Clauzel. This rich, ambitious businessman defined the property’s boundaries and gave Château Citran to prominence among the Medoc estates. 

The Miailhe family bought the property in 1945 and undertook a renovation programme until 1987, when a Japanese group acquired the property and made major investments.

In 1996, the Merlaut family, a major actor of the Bordeaux wine industry, took over Citran. They kept on increasing the quality of growth and developed its renown while respecting its history.
