The tasting, workshop and dinner on Saturday, 1 October, were built around the exceptional wines of Château Kirwan, situated on the plateau de Cantenac, Margaux. In 1787 Thomas Jefferson visited Château Kirwan. He classified Quirouan as 2nd Appellation Margaux. The Kirwan estate was acquired by the Schyler family in 1904. The Commanderie was pleased to welcome Ms. Sophie Schyler Thierry, owner. Sophie joined us from Bordeaux, presenting the estate, terroir, vineyard and wines during the tasting and dinner.

7 new Commandeurs were welcomed into the Commanderie.
