Charmes de Kirwan 麒麟酒莊副牌

Kirwan 副牌 (三級莊)

The chateau’s white stones peep through from behind the park and contrast with the glass of the greenhouse on the edge of the garden, a few paces away from the terrace. The eye lingers over the very classical lines of the chateau and the balanced composition of its setting between two clumps of vines. It was refurbished by Mark Kirwan at the end of the 18th century.

The arched windows above the central glass doors and its dormer windows soften the sharp slate roof slope and the uprightness of the high white shutters. The open pattern of the railing on the steps echoes these alternating curves and straight lines.

This is a proper family home. It exudes gentle symmetry with two flanking stone archways that are symbols of the owners’ hospitality. They open out to the estate and beyond.

The new cellar is a work of art conceived by Kinga and Anatoly Stolnikoff that contrasts pairings and disparities. Its monumental entrance features a sculpted steel arabesque entitled “Noah’s vine”. It leads to a modern, breathtakingly vast nave-like hall that towers above and joins the original buildings, housing the vathouse and cellars.

As you gradually get used to the soaring dimensions, you cannot fail to notice the strikingly horizontal lines of barrels and the contrastingly vertical metal pillars, which like trees, reach up and support the roof panels of this pagan temple, built to celebrate the craft of winemaking. In the vathouse, the thirty-seven tulip-shaped receptacles, made of lustreless concrete and designed to meet the requirements of each vineyard parcel, display fascinating sobriety. Their sensuous curves invite the eye to ogle.

Other pieces stand out in this emporium of technical equipment and materials that are there to ensure meticulous, natural and uniform vinification. These immense premises hold other lures for contemplation. The bright red of a canvas at the entrance catches the visitor’s eye, which then refocuses on the transparency and gilded detail of an antique mirror, while upstairs resides a scrupulously laid table.
