Château Kirwan's beginnings can be traced to the English merchant Sir John Collingwood, one of the first négociants in history, who acquired two vineyards, de Lasalle and Ganet, in Cantenac and Margaux. His daughter married an Irishman, Mark Kirwan, who inherited the vineyards in 1760 and made them one estate: Château Kirwan. In 1855 the Château was classified as a Troisième Cru, or 3rd Growth. After a period of instability, the estate was left to the City of Bordeaux, who eventually sold it to the Shÿler family, who still run it today.
The Château's vineyards consist of about 40 hectares planted to 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot on a mix of gravel based soils with plots of clay, sandy-clay, and clay-limestone. All grapes are hand-harvested and hand-sorted. On average, the wines of Kirwan enjoy 40% new French oak for 20 months.

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.
Wine Spectator

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.
