Chateau Kirwan has Irish roots, so there's no need to learn a new French pronunciation; say kur-win, and we'll know exactly which wine you're talking about. Located at the southern end of the Left Bank, Margaux is prized for its fragrant and elegant wines like the 2016 Kirwan. It's a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot, offering plums, currants, rose buds, graphite, and pipe tobacco. This Third Growth Margaux will age another ten years but is approachable now.
