With a garnet color and brick-red highlights, this lovely cuvée offers a bouquet with notes of black cherry and stone fruit. A fairly round wine with richness and finesse, it has a finish with satiny tannins that blend remarkably well. A great wine!

About the estate:

The château owes its name to the Durfort de Duras family, a powerful family from the Southwest who settled in Margaux in the 14th century; in 1824, the Viscount de Vivens added his own name. Controlled by the Lurton family since 1937, Gonzague inherited the property in 1992 and modernized the operation. Located in the communes of Margaux, Cantenac, and Soussans, the Durfort-Vivens vineyard benefits from a terroir of deep gravelly hilltops that are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon."
