Chateau Kirwan Margaux 2022

Particularly dry, the winter of 2022 was recognised as the coldest in the last ten years. Thanks to the rigour of the teams, the frosts at the beginning of April had no impact on the vineyards. The high temperatures at the beginning of May encouraged rapid vegetative development and flowering. Despite lower rainfall in June than in other appellations, the grapes ripened very early. The scorching summer had an impact on young vines, grape pruning and yields. The harvest began on 5 September, compared with 23 September in 2021, making it the earliest in the estate's history.
