Château Kirwan, Margaux 3ème cru classé 2022

2022 was a year of extremes and contrasts in terms of weather, with the earliest ever harvest at Kirwan on the fifth of September yielding fresh, concentrated fruit in smaller than usual quantities.

‘…this estate has produced a massive wine. Full of rich tannins and layers of black fruits and and a firm core, the wine has a long-term future. Drink from 2029.’
95/100 Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast January 2025

‘Sleek and crunchy, the bright almost high-toned red fruit take centre stage backed by crisp, fine and firm tannins with soft blueberry elements and crushed stones. Feels relatively delicate overall despite the concentration - keeps a linear frame, everything well worked, all in its place with detail and definition. This will be very delicious and true to form.’
94/100 Georgina Hindle, Decanter April 2023
