Tasting notes
Smoky red and black fruits, cedary herbs, and tobacco all emerge from the 2021 Château Citran, a pretty, perfumed, medium-bodied effort that has the vintage's juicy, bright, fresher style. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years or so, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it last longer.

The 2021 Citran offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, with touches of orange blossom and cedar coming through with time—cohesive and well-defined. The palate is very “linear” in style, medium-bodied with edgy tannins and commendable sapidity. It’s a bit lean toward the finish, but I suspect that will fill out with a few months in bottle. This is not a memorable wine, but a very decent effort considering the growing season.
The 2021 Citran is a very pretty, expressive wine. Crushed flowers, spice, tobacco and earthy notes give this mid-weight Haut-Médoc tons of charm. Vibrant, citrus-inflected tones lend brightness. All the elements are so well balanced. I would open this in advance to allow the tannins a bit of time to soften.
The 2021 Citran offers up notes of dark berries, mint and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, lively palate that's a touch pinched and angular on the finish.
