Le Paon De Citran Haut Medoc

The Le Paon De Citran Haut Medoc is the charming second wine of the historic Château Citran, offering a fantastic introduction to this esteemed Bordeaux estate. It delivers a classic and approachable expression of the appellation, perfect for enjoying without extensive cellaring.

Château Citran is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, with a history that can be traced back to the 13th century. The estate is known for producing quintessential Haut-Médoc wines that balance structure, fruit, and exceptional value. As a highly-regarded Cru Bourgeois property, it consistently crafts wines that reflect the quality and tradition of its terroir under the ownership of the Merlaut family.

The wine pours a deep ruby colour, revealing an inviting bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a touch of cedar spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins, presenting a core of ripe dark fruit flavours balanced by a refreshing acidity. A subtle hint of tobacco and earth emerges on the well-rounded finish.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C (60-65°F). It pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, hearty stews, or a platter of hard, aged cheeses.
