Château Citran

The Château Citran, situated north of the village Avensan, is one of the oldest manor houses in the French Médoc region. For 600 years it was run by the same family, until they left the estate in 1832. Subsequently, changes in ownership, as well as economic and political unrest, resulted in fluctuating wine quality. In 1945, the holding was restored and rendered successful again. In 1986, it was sold to a Japanese company, which invested heavily in the vineyards and wine cellars. Quickly, Citran rose to the elite of Cru Bourgeois wines. Today Château Citran belongs to the Taillan group, whose acclaimed experts manage the winery with great skill and know-how.
