Kirwan
Chateau Kirwan is named after an 18th century Irish owner who was killed in the French Revolution. This Margaux estate was under achieving for a while but the appointment of Michel Rolland in 1991 has really helped; the wine is more complex, heavier bodied and with a richer more fruit forward bouquet.

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (94)Well-placed, sappy and succulent damson, blackberry and cassis fruits. This is graceful and well-balanced, with a lingering, gently spiced finish that stretches out with a satisfyingly juicy feel that has deepened over ageing. First vintage where you find a touch of Carmanère in Kirwan. Technical director Philippe Delfaut, this is an upscore this En Primeur. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93-95)The dense purple-hued 2022 Château Kirwan just about jumps out of the glass with its intense bouquet of cassis and blue fruits as well as spicy oak and violets. It's certainly not shy, yet it stays pure, precise, and nicely focused, with medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. This beauty is just loaded with character and is well worth seeking out. |
