Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Durfort Vivens, 2ème Cru Classé, Margaux, 2022
ABV:
13%
95/100
Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Great balance, this has the spice and exoticism of the vintage, with pomegranate, cardamom and turmeric spice, along with creamy cappuccino and damson fruits. Feels effortless and balanced, step by step building in juice, enjoyment and pleasure. It's ripe and concentrated, with the structure for long ageing. 30hl/h. Owned by Gonzague Lurton, owner also of Acaibo in Sonoma, which has had its own challenges in terms of extreme temperatures. 70% new oak, 30% amphora for ageing. Harvest from September 1 to October 12, got to be one of the longest in terms of red grapes picking in the vintage.

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.
