RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...aromas of blackberries, licorice, sweet soil tones, spices and rose petals. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, rich, powdery tannins and a lively spine of acidity, it concludes with a long and penetrating finish.

95Vinous / IWC

Silky, red/purplish fruit, blood orange and pomegranate give this plush Margaux fabulous depth...very pretty floral accents to round things out. This classy Margaux is elegant, nuanced and polished.

95-96James Suckling

A super natural red with blackberries and blackcurrants, as well as black chocolate and hints of cedar... It’s long, very flavorful, rich and pure. New classic.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Lively and lifted with expressive dark-fruit notes. Pure and suave but fresh. Acidity a little more present but tannins very fine. Long, clean and well constructed.

PRODUCER

Château Durfort-Vivens

Château Durfort Vivens takes its name from the 11th century knights known as the Durfort of Duras, and early 19th century scientist Viscount Robert Labat de Vivens, who inherited the estate in 1824. In 1937 the estate was purchased by the owners of Château Margaux, mostly owned by Lurton family. Since 1992 Durfort Vivens has been run by Gonzague Vivens. The estate has 130 vineyard acres, and its second wines are Le Relais de Durfort Vivens and Vivens. The estate is biodynamic.
