Vintage Château Durfort-Vivens 2009

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.

2009 vintage now showing beautifully! The aromas of plum, blackberry, and cedar standout. While in the palate the round tannins and dark fruits persist through to the finish. This is a special Bordeaux vintage thats ready to drink!
