Vintage Château Durfort-Vivens 1999
£102.00
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.
The 1999 vintage provides an appealing nose of black cherry, followed by a touch of vanilla and cigar box. Due to the wine’s maturity tannins have now settled down, leaving a thick, viscous mouthful of brambly fruit at first, then the black cherries, then a third wave of intense blackcurrant and wild strawberry, before settling down to a long finale.
A gem and a real part of history of this important estate.
