Intense colour here deep ruby-red core. Classic nose here with dark fruity aromas, cassis, plum, with some herbal notes as well. Some leafy notes like bay leaf, tobacco, quite laid-back oak, just a hint of vanilla. Dense structure, with nice dark fruit. Still appearing a bit youthful in terms of tannins. Good freshness, good balance. Slightly spicy and herbal notes, like sage, bay leaf, mint. The wine has got a good length, it keeps lingering. Good material to further cellar.

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 to prominence among the Medoc 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.
