Margaux, Le Relais de Durfort-Vivens

A vintage in which we made fruit and finesse the priority. The nose, still a little buttery, expresses lovely notes of red fruit (redcurrants), dark fruit (blueberries), violets, and light tobacco.

Tasting notes

Aromas of red fruits (redcurrants), dark fruits (blueberries), violets, and light tobacco. Smooth on the palate with fine tannins and a long finish.

Wine making

Vineyard: Located in the communes of Margaux, Cantenac and Soussans, the Durfort-Vivens vines are planted on hilltops made up of deep, particularly poor gravel. The gravel was deposited by successive river-beds of the Garonne in the Quaternary period. This magnificent terroir enables an early optimal ripening of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, thereby allowing a full expression of the finesse and silkiness of the tannins, resulting in the freshness and elegance characteristic of a great Margaux. At Château Durfort-Vivens the constant search for a natural balance between the vines and the terroir is reflected in traditional growing techniques.
Vinification: After very careful harvesting, the wines are selected according to the part of the vineyard they come from, in small volume vats housed in the new cellars. Matured for 20 months in oak barrels, 45% of which are new.

Food pairing

Charcuterie, red meat and cheese.
