Château Citran Lous Miailhe Tinto

Description

The Donissan family of Citran governed this estate from the 13th century until 1832, when the last heir had to sell it to Mr. Clauzel. This wealthy and ambitious businessman defined the property’s boundaries and gave Château Citran prominence among the Médoc estates. The Miailhe family purchased the property in 1945 and carried out a renovation program until 1987. Then a Japanese consortium acquired the estate and made substantial investments, marking the rebirth of this great Médoc growth. In 1996, the Merlaut family—one of the leading figures in the Bordeaux wine industry—took over Citran. They continued to raise the quality of production and develop its reputation while respecting its history. Highly praised, the château was designated a historic heritage monument in 2012.
