Product Notes

The Charmes de Kirwan Margaux from Château Kirwan is a sumptuous French red wine, hailing from Margaux in Bordeaux. With a robust and complex profile, it enthrals with notes of fragrant blackberries, ripe plums and a touch of spicy oak. It boasts a refined tannic structure, perfectly balanced by its full-bodied and fruity palate. Its finish impresses with longevity and the delicate hint of toasted vanilla. This wine truly embodies the charm and finesse that Château Kirwan is renowned for and makes a fine addition for a discerning wine connoisseur's collection. Recommended with game, red meat or cheese.

Tasting Notes

A rich, deep color that immediately announces the tone of the vintage. It appears as a highly concentrated wine. The rich, complex nose confirms this impression, with a blend of black fruit and spices such as black pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. In the mouth, the attack is at once fresh and profuse. The sense of volume continues mid-palate while velvety tannins gradually develop, giving the wine its body without ever becoming overbearing. Everything is in perfect balance. A few notes of cocoa and coffee complement he broad aromatic palette right up to the prolonged finale, supported by extremely mature tannins. While the pleasure it procures may tempt some to drink it young, I suggest waiting a few years. Indeed, everything indicates long and propitious aging.
