About the wine:
Château Citran 2019 is fragrant and lively on the nose. Delicious and supple, it is energetic and vibrant, bursting with raspberries and red cherries. The palate is light and airy, fresh, juicy, and full of personality. Drinking window: 2022–2034 (Georgina Hindle)
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2022 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The 2019 Citran is coming along nicely in the bottle, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, red plums, and subtle hints of soft earth. Medium-bodied, lively, and understated, with powdery tannins and crisp acidity, it concludes with a firm, youthful finish. Although not the most expressive of the 2019 Bordeaux vintages, it will reward bottle aging to develop a classic medium-bodied profile. (William Kelley)

Wine rated (2022 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
Château Citran 2019 has developed well during aging. Delicious notes of red cherry, mint, tobacco, licorice, rose petals, cinnamon, and dried herbs enhance this expressive Haut-Médoc. Notes of cedar, menthol, and spices linger. The 2019 is a bit rustic, but it offers plenty of character. (Antonio Galloni)

Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Notes of blackcurrant and blackberry with hints of clove, licorice, tobacco, and hazelnut. It has a medium body and ripe, velvety tannins. Juicy and round with a fruity finish. Citran 2019 needs two or three years to soften and open up.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90-91/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is elegant and refined. It features notes of juicy strawberry, crushed boysenberry, and, to a lesser extent, fleshy black berries, combined with subtle hints of blueberry, blackcurrant, and chocolate, as well as very subtle hints of morello cherry and vanilla. The palate is mineral, fruity, and balanced, offering a delicate, tangy structure, smoothness, precision, and a fine texture. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of blackberry, plump/juicy boysenberry, plump blackcurrant, and, to a lesser extent, raspberry, combined with subtle hints of violet and blueberry, as well as discreet notes of zan, tonka bean, and a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut and vanilla. Good length. The tannins are precise and refined.
Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated 91/100
About the wine:
Dark fruits with a hint of spice create a full-bodied bouquet that reveals notes of graphite upon aeration. The palate is moderately dense, with firm, structuring tannins and a finish that hints at graphite. A well-rounded wine that is particularly well-suited to this vintage.
