From the esteemed Haut-Médoc region comes the vibrant and refreshing Chateau Citran Blanc, a delightful expression of a classic Bordeaux white blend. This wine captivates with its aromatic intensity and crisp, zesty palate, making it an excellent choice for lovers of elegant French white wines.
Chateau Citran is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, with a history dating back to the 13th century and a long-standing reputation for quality. Acquired by the influential Merlaut family in 1996, the estate has seen significant investment and a renewed commitment to excellence across both its red and white wine production. While famed for its Cru Bourgeois red, the chateau’s white wine demonstrates their versatile winemaking skill and dedication to expressing Bordeaux’s diverse terroir.
In the glass, the Chateau Citran Blanc displays a pale, brilliant yellow color with subtle green reflections. The nose is expressive and aromatic, revealing a bouquet of zesty grapefruit, passion fruit, and white flowers, with a hint of fresh-cut grass. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, driven by a bright acidity that balances flavors of citrus and exotic fruits, leading to a clean, mineral-driven finish.
For the best experience, serve this wine well-chilled, between 8-10°C (46-50°F). The Chateau Citran Blanc is a superb partner for fresh oysters, grilled sea bass, goat cheese salads, or light chicken dishes.
