Deep ruby in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruits are married with a subtle spiciness and chocolatey hints. Velvety tannins coat the palate and a bright acidity carries the complex flavours onto the lingering finish.
‘Les Plantes de Durfort-Vivens’ has replaced ‘Vivens’ as the château’s second wine. It is made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, sourced from younger vines within the estates and aged for 16 months in a combination of clay amphorae (80%) and French oak barrels (20%).
Château Durfort-Vivens owes its name to the Durfort de Duras, a powerful family in the south-west of France that came to Margaux in the 14th century. In 1824, the name of Vivens was added when Viscount Robert Labat de Vivens inherited the property.
