  • What the experts say...

    (...) Moyennement corsé et très richement extrait, le Kirwan 1996 se distingue par sa robe d'un rubis pourpre profond et par son fruité mûr de cassis, nuancé de notes de chêne neuf, de prune et d'épices. L'ensemble s'est affirmé harmonieusement (...); il est maintenant excellent, voire extraordinaire. (...) Source : Robert Parker (1/99) Robert Parker

    The wine

    Château Kirwan's wines are very typical of Margaux- feminine and delicate, with a characteristic elegant bouquet of vanilla and ripe fruit. They gdevelop finesse as they age. Château Kirwan enjoys an international reputation, due to its exceptional terroir, the high technology used in the vineyard, and the meticulous care taken during the vinification process.

    Information about domain Château Kirwan

    Château Kirwan's vines still grow on exactly the same plots as when the vineyard was classified at the top of the Médoc third crus classés in 1855. The Schÿler family who manage the property have maintained their links with Denmark. The Schröders and the Schÿlers are Denmark's consuls in Bordeaux.The vineyard consists of a 35 hectare single block of vines, and enjoys an excellent aspect, with a high point of 20 metres on the Cantenac plateau. The vines planted include a significant proportion of Petit Verdot (10%).
