Decanter

Some florality over vigorous black fruits. Always a little tough at the start but will show better with age.

James Suckling

Attractive red fruits and spiced-pastry aromas with cinnamon and some darker plum notes. The palate has a very supple and even-handed feel, where the tannins are ultra-polished and the red cherry-plum flavors hold impressively fresh into the finish. Best from 2022.

Medium-bodied, with more earth, cedar and tobacco leaf than fruit, the wine is correct, classic, and a tad short on the finish.

Notes of strawberries, raspberries, toasted spice and hints of scorched earth all emerge from the 2015 Château Citran, and it's another 2015 Haut-Médoc that offers tons of charm. Medium-bodied, supple and polished, with fine tannin, drink it over the coming decade.

Yves Beck

Garnet red with light violet highlights. A fruity bouquet marked by notes of red berries. On the palate, the wine is pleasant, balanced, and endowed with slightly grainy tannins that reveal themselves across the palate. The wine is pleasantly light, delicious, and can be enjoyed in its youth.

Description

The balance and aromatic richness of a Haut-Médoc red wine

The estate

Château Citran is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc. In 1996, the Merlaut family took over the running of this estate, which produces elegant Haut-Médoc wines.

The vineyard

The Château Citran vineyard covers 100 hectares. The vines are planted on a mosaic of gravelly and sandy soils composed of marl and limestone.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes are vinified in traditional thermo-regulated vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out partly in barrels (38% new barrels). The wine is aged in French oak barrels with quarterly rackings.

The blend

Château Citran 2015 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Merlot (38%) and Cabernet Franc (6%).

Château Citran 2015: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour

The colour is clear, with violet highlights.

Nose

The nose blends black fruit fragrances with delicious toasted notes.

Palate

The elegant attack is fine and racy. The palate is seduced by this wine’s balance, its length and its power mixed with a fresh and smooth touch. The finish is ample, persistent and aromatic.
