Margaux

Highly refined and precise, the 2015 vintage reflects splendid ripe appes at optimal maturity. The mouthfeel is impressively elegant and smooth. It is well-balanced with a touch of freshness and thus has exceptional ageing potential.

A well balanced wine, with spicy notes, good length, not too powerful and charming.

A nose of red and black fruits. The palate is well-structured and harmonious. It is a pleasant wine, easy to drink. Food pairings To match with : duck fillet, mushroom risotto, cheese.

Currently extremely youthful with a dark ruby/purple colour, as well as a sweet nose of cassis and spring flowers. Although this wine will never be muscular or exceptionally concentrated, it overdelivers with a stylish, elegant, and well crafted harmony among its structural components.

A vintage in which we made fruit and finesse the priority. The nose, still a little buttery, expresses lovely notes of red fruit (redcurrants), dark fruit (blueberries), violets, and light tobacco. The palate is smooth and evolves with a fresh, refined texture. Very pleasant, fruity, full-bodied character. The finish is moderately long and elegant with notes of fresh fruit and vanilla.

This vintage offers a very subtle expression of finesse, elegance, freshness of fruit and a harmonious finish. On the nose, there are intense aromas of redcurrants, blueberries, lilac, violet and mineral notes. On the palate, there are hints of spice and light tobacco with smooth, silky tannins. It is a well-balanced and elegant wine, with a long and lingering finish.

Aromas of red fruits (redcurrants), dark fruits (blueberries), violets, and light tobacco. Smooth on the palate with fine tannins and a long finish.

Beautiful dark red colour with purple tints. The nose is very expressive, with intense aromas of cassis and blackberries, which are also noticeable in the mid-palate. Ample and round, the body is well structured with polished tannins and delicate layers of oak. Smoke, floral aromas and slight spicy notes rise after further airing of the wine

Finely extracted cassis fruit, elegance and lift of Cabernet dominant, fine florality, purity and length.

The wine was bottled at the end of June 2010, after 19 months of aging in barrels (including 45% new barrels). At this stage, it demonstrated an excellent aromatic complexity with a m�lange of fruits � black currents and ripe cherries � and sweet spices, like vanilla. The attack is fresh, slightly minty, and smooth. The tannins appear progressively to give the wine body and support a long, slightl…

Second wine of Chateau Kirwan: a very harmonious, smooth, well-balanced wine. Beautifully pure fruit with great concentration. The oak aging is subtle and gives a smooth character rather than strong toasty flavors. The richness and structure do promise some aging although this wine will develop quickly.

This Margaux 2011 offers a deep ruby-red colour and a bouquet delicately combining liquorice with roasted coffee notes and surprising hints of cassis bud. The tannins are fleshy and very full thanks to the slow extraction during the vatting process. The long, silky finish combines flavours of cassis (stemming from the dominant cabernet sauvignon) with slightly woody notes, revealing all the elegan…

Vibrant purple in colour, the nose is packed with brambly fruit with elements of smoke and coffee. Round and supple with finely textured tannins structuring the midpalate alongside spicy red berry fruit and well defined oak influence. Classic, approachable claret style.

Made with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot the wine is soft and silky with perfumed strawberry jam on the nose. Ripe plum and cream come through on the palate which has supple tannins and an attractive, lively red fruit finish. This elegant Margaux will be lovely to drink, share and enjoy over the next decade
