Jeb Dunnuck
Red and black fruits, spice, saddle leather, and tobacco leaf notes all emerge from the 2020 Chateau Citran, a rock-solid, medium-bodied, balanced Haut-Medoc. It has the pure, focused, nicely structured style of the vintage and is going to evolve for 15 years or more. Best After 2023

James Suckling
Plenty of blackcurrant, crushed stone and tobacco on the nose and palate. Medium body and juicy fruit. Slightly austere finish. Should soften with age. Best after 2023.

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.
