Included in the 1932 classification of crus bourgeois, Château Citran is one of the oldest winegrowing estates in the Médoc. 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. Both the Miailhe brothers and their successors, the Cesselin family, were responsible for the estate’s impressive development. After nine years of Japanese ownership, Citran became French once again in 1996 when it was acquired by the Merlaut family, well known for their expertise and passion for making fine wine. 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.
