Vintage Château Durfort-Vivens 2005
£125.00
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 amazing 2005 vintage sings loudly here – high-toned aromas of black fruits, liquorice and smokiness grab you initially. In the mouth the wine is a mix of sweeter ripe fruit mixed with concentrated structured fruit that is highly concentrated out to currant and liquorice lingering on and on. Drinking amazingly right now but still further to go if you can be patient…
