Description

Les Charmes de Kirwan is the second wine of 3rd Growth Château Margaux and, like it’s more grown up sybling, has benefitted from the massive investment program in both the winery and the vineyard in recent years.  It is generally made with the younger vines on the property but receives exactly the same care and attention as the wine. 


The 2016 could well be the greatest vintage of Les Charmes ever made, it is brimming with silky and concentrated ripe cassis and cherry fruit, powerful yet with a distinct elegance and freshness.  This is serious stuff and has the potential to age for a decade or more despite it being so attractive in it’s youth.

Rhone Blend

This relatively young family owned Domaine was created in 2001 by vignerons with 4 generations of vinegrowing and winemaking expertise under their belts.  They own some seriously old vines in superb sites in the Southern Rhone on a mixture of soils of red sand, clay and the classic 'Galet' pebbles associated with Chateauneuf du Pape.  As a result, their wines posess a wonderful depth and concentration.

Pinot Noir

The grapes for this wine are hand harvested from 2 parcels in the heart of Mercurey where the soil is clay and limestone. They spend 10-15 days fermenting in the tank before being put into French oak barrels, 30% of which are new.  The wine then spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.
