B21 has an Incredible selection of wine, especially my favorite Pinot Noirs! However, what sets this wine shop apart from others? They have exemplary and attentive customer service. They answer emails promptly, offer shipping deals, and they will hold a wine shipment for inclement weather circumstances. What more could you want? AWESOME store!

My mixed case of Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Black arrived quickly. The packaging is excellent as the bottles are packed horizontally in thick padded form‑fitting shelves that also work wekk as wine racks. I highly recommend B21 and its charming Tarpon Springs home base.

B‑21 is the best! You can count on them for speedy delivery, fair prices and easy problem resolution. As an example, I once had a shipment arrive with several broken bottles due to the shipper. B‑21 immediately shipped me another case and had the shipper pick up the damaged goods. I highly recommend B‑21!

2010 Citran Ex-Chateau 2022 (750ml)

Merlot from Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

WOW, what a pleasure! Tasted in February at Vinexpo Paris against Bordeaux from 2009 and 2010, which were two to three times the price, I was blown away by the shockingly good 2010 Chateau Citran, From the outstanding Bordeaux vintage declared “truly superb” by James Suckling, the 2010 Chateau Citran is an opulent, expressive and pristinely cellared Left Bank blend coming direct from the Chateau cellar, an exciting opportunity to enjoy the complexity of a well-aged Bordeaux now and over the next few years for an incredibly budget-friendly price.

Located just west of Margaux in the Haut-Medoc and classified as Cru Bourgeois, the fairytale-like 13th century Chateau Citran was owned by the same family for over 600 years until the early 1800’s, falling into disrepair over the next century and a half until considerable investments beginning in the 1940’s fueled its renaissance. Under the ownership of renowned Bordeaux merchants, the Merlaut family since 1996, the 2010 Chateau Citran was sourced from the estate’s 94 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards, planted mostly to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc in sandy gravel soils and divided into two major parcels, one surrounding the historic chateau and the other near the village. A blend of 55% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cab Franc, the hand-harvested fruit for the 2010 Chateau Citran was sorted in the vineyard and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and cement tanks and oak barrels under the direction of famed consultant of Eric Boissenot, then aged in 38% new French oak barriques for 15 months with the additional 10 years of bottle aging yielding a nuanced, aromatic Bordeaux with layered dark fruit and mellowed, ultra-fine tannins.

While the quality of many older Bordeaux vintages can be questionable due to less than optimal storage conditions, this ex-Chateau offer of the intriguing 2010 Chateau Citran guarantees perfect provenance, a not to be missed opportunity to enjoy an expertly cellared, well-aged Bordeaux that’s drinking beautifully at a simply incredible price - certain to sell out quickly, don’t hesitate to secure your stash.

Ripe and engaging, with dark, juicy plum and boysenberry fruit liberally studded with anise, cocoa and tar notes that hang through the well-structured finish. Should age well in the near-term. Best from 2014 through 2022. 32,500 cases made.

90 points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Mar 2013)

Aromas and flavors of orange peel, dried strawberries and hints of coffee. Full and chewy with a good amount of tannins and a pretty finish. Already delicious. Try in 2015.

90 points, James Suckling (Mar 2013)
