Wine Enthusiast
This is full of intensely ripe fruit, but seductively balanced with the fresh acidity. The wine is solid, but also lively, with dusty tannins layered with some new wood flavors. Barrel Sample: 92-94

Included in the 1932 classification of crus bourgeois, Chateau Citran is one of the oldest winegrowing estates in the Medoc. It is mentioned in records dating as far back as 1235, at which time it belonged to the Marquis de Donissan. His descendants owned the estate for six centuries but, as time went on, there were only a few remaining vines growing on small, scattered plots. Fortunately, Monsieur Clauzel restructured the vineyard in the 19th century.
Citran now reflects the full potential of its terroir. Its hundred hectares of beautiful gravel soil and excellent winemaking facilities make Citran worthy of holding its head high among the great growths and finest wines of Bordeaux.
