Chosen as a 3rd Classified Growth of Margaux during the great classification of Medoc wines in 1855, Chateau Kirwan has belonged to the Schÿler family since 1925. The dynamic Philippe Delfaut has endowed the estate with new infrastructures and elevated it to the height of its appellation. Chateau Kirwan today belongs to the elite circle of Margaux Grands Crus.

94-96. Barrel Sample. At 73% the Cabernet Sauvignon dominates this fine, smoky wine. Its juicy character reflects the freshness of the vintage while also giving structure. A precise, focused wine with tannins built for aging.

The 2021 Château Kirwan should certainly be outstanding, with the pretty, medium-bodied, elegant style of the vintage. Giving up both red and blue fruits as well as some floral notes, it has good freshness, outstanding purity of fruit, and fine tannins.

This red's lightly mulled red currant and black cherry fruit flavors still have some subtle energy, while hints of cedar and black tea weave through the finish, where the vintage's grain peeks in. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028. 7,500 cases made, 700 cases imported.

Medium-bodied, lean and ephemeral, based on this showing, the 2021 Kirwan is not a wine to conjure with.
