A rich and balanced Margaux wine
The property
The Château Durfort-Vivens takes its name from the Durfort de Duras family who settled in the Margaux appellation in the 14th century and from the Viscount Robert Labat de Vivens who in 1824 became, by inheritance, the owner of the estate to which he associated his name.
Acquired in 1937 by the owners of Château Margaux, one of the main shareholders of which was the Lurton family, this Second Grand Cru Classé became the property of Lucien Lurton in 1961 and then in 1992 of his son, Gonzague Lurton.
Partly aged in amphora, the wines of Château Durfort-Vivens are recognized for their precision and elegance. The property now holds the largest amphora cellar in the world by volume.
The vineyard
Château Durfort-Vivens is a Margaux wine from a 62-hectare vineyard planted on deep gravel soil with a sandy-clay subsoil.
Blend
The Château Durfort-Vivens 2005 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.
