Founded in 1751 by Sir John Collingwood, it became Château Kirwan after the legacy to his son Mark Kirwan. The Schÿler family acquired the estate in 1925 and today, Jean Henri Schÿler lives in the château, sharing his passion of the terroir with the new generation, very much involved in the family business : Sophie (development and communication), Nathalie (oenotourism) and Yann (in charge of the family négociant house, Maison Schroder \u0026amp; Schÿler). In 2007, the family hired Philippe Delfaut, ex-winemaker at Château Palmer to run the estate as Managing Director.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chateau-kirwan.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Château Kirwan\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eChâteau Kirwan Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"charmes-de-kirwan-margaux","title":"Charmes de Kirwan 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eLes Charmes de Kirwan is the second wine of Château Kirwan, launched in 1993. It is the Grand Vin's “little brother” and is generally made from the fruit of the youngest vines and parcels of the vineyard that are less gravelly, but sandier. The wine is made highlighting its fruit and maximising suppleness. It can therefore be enjoyed younger. An intense nose blends notes of cherry and blackberry with subtle hints of chocolate. It is ample and unctuous in the mouth, with a distinct fleshy character. Understated tannins prolong the tasting experience while lending softness to the wine. Thanks to its mature aromas and velvety texture, this wine is already ripe for tasting, although its concentration ensures that it will age well for many years to come.

The fruit is picked and sorted twice by hand, then vinified in separate batches corresponding to individual vineyard parcels. Half the oak barrels used to age the wine for eighteen months are renewed every year. This vintage blend is Cabernet Sauvignon (58%), Merlot (36%), Cabernet Franc (2%) and Petit Verdot (4%). The wine has a deep colour and so far, shows no trace of evolution. The nose is highly complex, a blend of fresh berries with delicate notes of vanilla and caramel. On the palate, its roundness and smooth body immediately impresses. The fruity and spicy flavours continue to develop with no harshness present. This wine is superbly balanced and clearly reflects its origins. The gentle elegance makes waiting a challenge but there is no doubt that this wine has everything it takes to age beautifully and for many years.[#intro]Kirwan is renown for its rich and velvety style of Margaux...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31065212682307,"sku":"A17KIRWANGV-1","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/Grand_Vin_8f9421b0-4617-4889-b390-e2cbb7525c01.jpg?v=1572890689"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/Collection_Image_3684e6de-c2a1-45fe-8f12-16d1053db50c.jpg?v=1572879899","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/chateau-kirwan-margaux-france\/chateau-kirwan.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
