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 well-regarded Château Margaux.
The 2006 vintage opens with ripe, dried fruit aromas of redcurrant, mint, and smoky, nutty oak. On the palate, it is sweet and plump, carrying a supple texture with notes of plum. The finish reveals slightly dusty yet integrated tannin, which adds structure and depth. After nearly 20 years of bottle ageing, this wine is now perfectly poised to be revealed and enjoyed.
