Durfort-Vivens is an illustrious 2nd growth – right up there with Bordeaux’s best! It has a long, rich history and with the current steward of the property, Gonzague it was the first estate in Margaux to go fully organic and is now fully biodynamic, too. The estate now puts 20% of the wine in clay amphora to add layers of complexity outside of oak barrels and preserve fruit and freshness in their wines. We have been blown away by the value of this estate which lies immediately next door to the much more expensive Château Margaux.
Les Plantes is aged sixteen months in clay jars and oak barrels, creating a seductive bomb of flavours. The nose is perfumed with dark brilliant fruits, chocolate, and oriental spices. While on the palate, the wine carries freshness, smooth tannin, and a medium body. This special cuvée holds great value, and is ready to be enjoyed with roast lamb and garlic rosemary.
