This is the first vintage produced at the new winery that has been installed with the same tanks as those designed for Château Cheval Blanc. The fermentation is cool at a maximum 25°C in order to contain the extraction and showpiece the classic Margaux characters. There is 40% new oak. The bouquet displays very alluring clean berry aromas, the palate is vibrant and brimming with cassis, balanced by a very feminine freshness. A wine that possesses great opulence, this is a very good vintage for Kirwan.
Owned by the Schÿler family, Kirwan is on top form since the new winery was installed in 2016. A great reference for the Margaux appellation.
