Château Durfort-Vivens - Margaux - Rouge - 2023

What a surge in quality!

A prized property in the Margaux sector, Château Durfort-Vivens, a Second Grand Cru Classé, has returned to the forefront with significant advancements. Its cutting-edge biodynamic viticulture and meticulous vinification now produce some of the finest and most interesting wines in the appellation. Situated on 55 hectares of poor, deep gravel soils, this cru is now at the very top of the Médoc. The wines, incomparably complex and expressive, offer rare tactile sensations and refinement not yet fully recognized. The fortunate consequence for enthusiasts is that prices remain accessible...

The 2023 vintage confirms the rise of this cru! Rated 94-95/100 by Parker and 95/100 by Olivier Poussier, it reveals itself as very pure, precise, and balanced, with great density mid-palate, lovely velvety juice, graceful tannins, and admirable persistence on the finish.

"I loved this very pure wine, with a beautiful fruity dimension. The Médoc character is pronounced, with a class and finesse very typical of Margaux!" enthuses the Best Sommelier in the World.

You must certainly consider this wine again this year!
