Chateau Kirwan 2017

The refinement and balance of a great Margaux

The property

Beautifully located on the heights of the Cantenac plateau, the Château Kirwan is one of the most prestigious names of the esteemed Margaux appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.

Under the leadership of the talented General Manager Philippe Delfaut, the superb property with the Irish name has undergone a significant modernization and restructuring in recent years. 2018 marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Château Kirwan with a vineyard now 100% Organic, benefiting from HVE 3 certification (High Environmental Value level 3). The investments made, the efforts and the extreme attention paid by the teams of Château Kirwan from the vine to the cellar are rightly rewarded by the excellence of the Crus, elevated to the rank of the most prestigious references of the Margaux appellation.

The vineyard

Located on the Cantenac plateau, in Margaux, the vineyard of Château Kirwan extends over 37 hectares of vines. This superb hill of gravel and clay brings together all the favorable conditions for the maturation of the great Médoc grape varieties, which are cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.
