Citran is Haut-Médoc from the left Bank of Bordeaux. 2005 is an exceptional year. The tannins are now very mellow, and the fruits are still very present. Perfect time to drink it.

From the Bordeaux area to the Pays d’Oc, the climatic conditions proved absolutely remarkable. The sunlight from June to September just before the harvests allowed the forming of mature, rich and perfectly balanced grapes.
Haut-Médoc
Beautiful black color with ruby rims
The nose is expressive. The bouquet is marked by smells of mature black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) supported by slight notes of toasted bread.
The palate is well balanced with a very beautiful structure. It is marked by a good entry with volume. The black fruits and the tanins are well developed and there is a great richness in the middle of the palate.
Great bottle which can be drunk within 6 to 10 years. Food matches: Red meat, soused or roasted game.
