Description

The 55 hectare Margaux vineyard of Durfort Vivens is planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. The terroir is gravel, clay and sandy soil. The vines are planted to a density that varies from 6,600 to 7,700 vines per hectare. The higher levels of vine density are for the newer plantings.

To produce the wine of Chateau Durfort Vivens, the wine is vinified in a combination of wood and concrete, temperature controlled vats and amphora. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vat. The wine of Durfort Vivens is aged in a combination of about 40% new French oak barrels and clay amphora for an average of 18 months, depending on the quality and character of vintage.

I am selling 2 bottles from 2 super vintages 2000 & 2005. The 2000 is drinking beautifully now, the 2005 would probably benefit from a few more years of bottle ageing.

2000 - 91 points Wine Spectator: "Shows loads of pretty blackberry and raspberry, with a smoky undertone. Full-bodied, with fine tannins, a lovely structure and a long finish. Still tight. Best after 2010." (Web only, 2007)

2005 - Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Rather opulent and satisfying on the nose and alluring on the palate. Some freshness. Slightly bitter finish. But really good start.
Drink 2018-2030
