2014 Château Durfort-Vivens, Margaux, 2ème Cru Classé
Couldn't load pickup availability
An elegant wine with a complex nose of blackcurrant leaf, spiced
plums and notes of blond tobacco. Smooth on the palate, it is well
balanced with fine grained tannins and pronounced flavours of
blackcurrant and a hint of all spice. This is a very fine example of a
multi nuanced Margaux
Producer description:
Château Durfort-Vivens is a second-growth Margaux estate that owes part of its name to the Durfort de Duras, a powerful family in southwest France that came to Margaux in the 14th century. In 1824, the name ‘Vivens’ was added when Viscount Robert Labat de Vivens inherited the property. This 55-hectare estate, widely regarded as one of the finest in Margaux, is currently owned and operated by Gonzague Lurton. Gonzague converted 20% of the vineyards to biodynamic viticulture in 2009. Pleased with the results, he increased this area to 40% the following year beforeembarking on full conversion in 2013. As a result, the vineyards of Château Durfort-Vivens have been fully certified both organic and biodynamic since the 2016 vintage
