Château Durfort Vivens 2020

Château Durfort-Vivens, a 2ème Grand Cru Classé from 1855, lies in the heart of Margaux and has some of the appellation’s finest gravel-rich soils. Deep, warm gravel ridges over clay and limestone provide ideal drainage and promote wines of clear structure and great aromatic precision.

Cabernet Sauvignon plays the leading role, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, producing an elegant, floral and finely spiced Margaux style. As one of the few great Médoc estates working fully biodynamically, Durfort-Vivens further enhances the freshness, purity and tension of its wines. The result is long-lived crus of remarkable elegance and terroir depth.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
