The 2019 Château Kirwan is a superb expression of Margaux elegance, offering a fragrant bouquet of blackcurrant, cherry, violet, licorice, cedar, and dried flowers that immediately captivates the senses. On the palate, it delivers a medium-to-full-bodied experience with polished tannins, refined structure, and a long, mineral-tinged finish. Widely hailed as one of the finest Kirwan vintages in recent years, it has earned high critical acclaim for its balance, sophistication, and purity.

This wine strikes an artful balance between aromatic grace and structure—its floral notes are underpinned by focused, sapid fruit and taut, tensile tannins. Refined and approachable now, it promises nuanced evolution with proper cellaring—ideal for collectors and lovers of poised Bordeaux with impressive aging potential.

Classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 Classification, Château Kirwan is one of the historic jewels of Margaux. The estate traces its origins back to the 18th century, when Irishman Mark Kirwan married into the Lasalle family and gave his name to the property. Today, the château is owned by the Schÿler family, who have continued to refine and modernize its winemaking while preserving the classic elegance that defines Margaux.

The vineyards span around 40 hectares, planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Gravel-rich soils deliver wines that balance power with finesse, producing aromatic reds noted for their floral lift, supple tannins, and long aging potential. Over the last two decades, Château Kirwan has gained a reputation for consistency and quality, offering wines that combine modern precision with the timeless charm of great Margaux.

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
