Cru Bourgeois

2005 Haut-Medoc Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Chateau Citran Cru Bourgeois from the Haut-Medoc region is a captivating red wine that showcases the harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2005 vintage displays a medium-bodied profile with rich and velvety texture that caresses the palate. Its acidity is lively and refreshing, providing a perfect balance to the wine's fruit intensity, which is prominent, offering delightful notes of dark cherry and blackcurrant complemented by subtle undertones of cedar and tobacco. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, contributing to the wine's structure and age-worthiness. This wine is dry, making it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes, particularly red meats and hearty stews. A worthy expression of the Haut-Medoc terroir, Chateau Citran is a lovely example of classic Bordeaux craftsmanship.
