STUDIES ON BORDEAUX WINES AND GROWTHS

Chateau Citran

Haut-Médoc

Cru Bourgeois Supérieur

last update : Saturday 09 January 2010
 

The first recorded mention of Citran dates back to the 13th century. The 90 hectare vineyard surrounding this beautiful medieval estate has an oustanding gravel terroir.
The owners modernized the vat room and cellar in the late 80s.
Working closely with the Rolland enology laboratory, special attention is paid to picking and sorting the grapes as well as aging the wine.
Château Citran's powerful, classic style (although slightly rustic in the late 80s) has now become more refined, probably thanks to its higher proportion of Merlot, while staying true to its Médocain roots.
