Château Citran is one of the oldest estates in Medoc and was run by the Donissan de Citran family for over six hundred years, until 1832. Over the years, the Château changed hands, with each owner investing in and improving this historic Château. In 1945, it was purchased by the Bordelais Merlaut family, who re-established the estate’s reputation while respecting its historical roots. In 2012, the Château was designated a historical monument and today is frequented by dazzling turquoise peacocks roaming in the grounds. Together with renowned consultant oenologist Eric Boissenot, Château de Citran produces this wonderfully seductive wine, with harmonious balance, elegance and complexity. 2010 was an exceptional season. The sunny, warm weather during the growing season and near-perfect climatic conditions throughout, contributed to the success of this vintage. 2010 is characterised by a strong concentration of anthocyanins, ripe and silky tannins and wonderful power.
