The Winery

Kirwan

Château Kirwan resides in the renowned Margaux appellation of Bordeaux and is classified as one of the fourteen Third Growths in the Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855. It was started by Sir John Collingwood, an Englishman and wine merchant, in 1751. Through each generation, Kirwan was passed along to sons and daughters and each owner has made a valiant effort to make the best possible wines using innovative and traditional techniques. It caught the attention of Thomas Jefferson, a known wine-lover, who visited the estate many times due to his fondness of the wine.

The estate has hit its stride producing great blends vintage after vintage following a patch of poor productions in the 80s and 90s. Michel Rolland has consulted since the 90s where the wines have become much more rich and aromatic. The wines have met their third growth status for decades now and there no signs of a drop in quality

Tasting Notes

JS94
This is a wine that seduces you, with its crushed blackberries and hints of dark chocolate that follow through to a full body and ultra-fine tannins with a tangy, fresh finish. Solid as a rock. Best ever from here. Try in 2019.
WE93
While it has weight and richness, this is also seriously structured, a wine packed with dry tannins. The potential is all there—the sweet fruit of the vintage along with a solid texture and final acidity.
