Château Kirwan

The history of Kirwan dates back over 2 centuries. It began in the 18th century with the marriage of Mark Kirwan, a merchant originally from Ireland, to the daughter of Sir John Collingwood, an eminent Bordeaux negociant and the owner of an estate known then as Lasalle.

Mark Kirwan gradually extended this estate, gave it his name and succeeded in bringing it international acclaim.

In 1855, Château Kirwan was ranked first among the 3rd Classified Growths of the Medoc and was subsequently acquired by Camille Godard, a leading political figure in Bordeaux.

In 1926 the Schyler family took control. Having been Bordeaux negociants since 1739, the Schyler wine merchant house continues today to contribute to the commercial development of the estate.

 

 

The Vineyard

Carpeting the vaunted slopes of Margaux in a wave of green, the Kirwan vineyard looks out across the Margaux appellation. 37 hertares stretch over an outcrop made up of gravel and clay.

It is from this mosaic of 35 plots that the character of the wines is forged. The Merlot, grown on clay with laminite deposits, beings roundness, flesh and balance- characteristics which complement the refined structure and velvety texture provided by the Cabernet, which is grown on the estate’s sun- drenched gravel soils.

The final touches are given by the Merlot and Petit Verdot grown on terraces of deep gravel.
