Chateau Citran Rouge is a quintessential expression of Haut-Médoc, delivering the classic structure and elegance for which Bordeaux is renowned. This wine consistently offers remarkable quality and character, making it a reliable choice for both connoisseurs and newcomers to the region.
Chateau Citran boasts one of the oldest histories in the Médoc, with origins dating back to the 13th century and its status as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. The estate is distinguished by its expansive, contiguous vineyard planted on excellent gravelly soil. It has a long-standing reputation for producing well-made, traditional Bordeaux wines that gracefully evolve with age.
The wine pours a deep ruby colour, offering an inviting bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, Chateau Citran Rouge is medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins, presenting a core of dark fruit flavours complemented by earthy undertones and a balanced, persistent finish.
To fully appreciate its complexity, serve this wine at approximately 16-18°C (60-65°F). It is an excellent companion to roasted red meats, hearty stews, grilled steak, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or cheddar.
