Vintage Château Durfort-Vivens 1996
£175.00
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.
1998 is in perfect drinking window now it’s 25+ years old and very hard to get hold of. It still has a lovely amount of secondary fruit throughout the wine with mixed berry and cherry flavours alongside mushroom earthiness and a hint of florality through to a medium body and delicate tannins.
