Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Durfort Vivens, 2ème Cru Classé, Margaux, 2005

A pure nose of fresh crushed berry juice; clean entry on the palate, flavours of light red fruits, hints of herbs, and some quite firm, polished tannins to back it up. Great length – another winner from Gonzague Lurton.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2005 Durfort-Vivens is definitely one of the superior contributions this decade. It has a dense and intense bouquet with blackberry, mint and loamy scents. Perhaps just a bit charmless? The palate is tannic with dark fruit, a little austere but with an insistent grip and backbone. It is what you might call a "solid" Margaux, punchy yet certainly not nearly as refined as more recent vintages. Tasted at the Durfort-Vivens dinner at Portland restaurant.

Château Durfort Vivens

The vineyards of this second growth property are situated immediately next to those of Château Margaux. After a period of under-exploitation, winemaker Gonzague Lurton has worked hard to raise the quality of the wines produced and the fruits of his efforts are visible in that they are gradually regaining the following they enjoyed 100 years ago.
