Château Durfort-Vivens is a Second Growth, 55-hectare estate that is widely regarded to be one of the finest producers in Margaux. It is currently owned and managed by Gonzague Lurton, who, together with his wife Claire, is known for his early commitment to organic and biodynamic vineyard practices.
Durfort-Vivens vineyard is composed of 83 plots and extends over 4 villages of the Margaux appellation: Cantenac, Soussans, Margaux et Arsac. The best parcels are blended to create our grand vin, Chateau Durfort-Vivens. Vinified separately, the blocks of these plots give birth to 3 cuvées - Les Plantes, Le Plateau, and Le Hameau: the parcels of Durfort-Vivens.
The nose opens with pronounced iodine and mineral tones, layered with subtle red fruit and a hint of chocolate. On the palate, it’s mouthwatering and vibrant, carrying a long, sweet‑edged freshness. The texture is supple, generous, and thoroughly satisfying.
Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
