Tasting Notes
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Haut-Medoc on the right bank of the Garonne River in Bordeaux. Sappy and savoury with great fruit balance. Will age well. - Chris L
The Donissan de Citran family ruled 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 prominence among the Médoc estates.
The Miailhe family bought the property in 1945 and undertook a renovation programme until 1987. Then, a Japanese group acquired the property and made major investments. This marks the resurrection of this great growth of Médoc!
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. Highly lauded, the Château was designated an historical monument heritage in 2012.
