Description

This Grand Cru Classé hails from the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux. The vintage is a blend consisting of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Petit Verdot, reflecting the estate's dedication to producing balanced and elegant wines. It showcases a deep garnet-purple colour and presents an aromatic bouquet of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and Morello cherries, with additional hints of lavender, black tea, and dried herbs from Provence.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with excellent tension and fine-grained tannins that frame the tightly wound layers of red fruit and savoury notes. The finish is long and refreshing.

Chateau Kirwan

Château Kirwan, located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, is a distinguished estate known for its commitment to producing elegant and refined wines.

The estate practices sustainable viticulture, focusing on environmental stewardship and the health of the vines.

Their Grand Vin consistently showcases the elegance and depth characteristic of Margaux wines, with aging potential that rewards patience.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
