Chateau Citran 2015 (1x75cl)

Château Citran, a historic estate situated in the Haut-Médoc appellation, presents its 2015 vintage, a testament to the region's classic winemaking tradition. The property's gravelly soils, characteristic of the Médoc, provide an ideal foundation for Cabernet Sauvignon, which forms the backbone of this blend, complemented by Merlot. The 2015 growing season was widely celebrated across Bordeaux for its optimal conditions, yielding wines of significant ripeness, structure, and ageing potential. This vintage from Citran underwent a meticulous vinification process, including maturation in French oak, contributing to its refined tannic profile and aromatic complexity. It embodies the quintessential claret style, offering both immediate appeal and considerable promise for cellaring.

Tasting notes

The 2015 Château Citran displays a deep ruby hue. On the nose, it offers an intricate bouquet of cassis, black cherry, and plum, interwoven with classic Médocain notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a hint of graphite. The palate is well-structured and firm, revealing a core of dark fruit supported by ripe, polished tannins and a refreshing acidity. Nuances of forest floor and subtle spice emerge on the mid-palate, leading to a persistent and elegant finish. This wine is poised for further development with bottle age.
