Charmes De Kirwan (2017)
New
This is one of the finest Charmes de Kirwan, the second wine of famous Margaux property Chateau Kirwan, ever produced. It is remarkably round and fleshy with extremely powerful fruit flavours of blackcurrant and plum. Perfectly in balance there is enough acidity to balance the fleshy fruit while just a hint of oak finish off what is a remarkable wine.

Chateau Kirwan is located on the plateau of Cantenac with some of the finest gravelly soil in the Médoc. Kirwan is exquisitely elegant, well-structured and typical of the very finest in the Margaux appellation.
The vines are thinned out in order to encourage maximum concentration and ripeness in the grapes. These are hand-picked and carefully sorted before being crushed. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and then aged in oak barrels (35% of which are renewed every year) for 18 months.
Chateau Kirwan takes its name from the Irishman, Mark Kirwan, who owned the estate in the mid 18th century. The Schyler family has owned Kirwan since 1925.
