Château Durfort Vivens
In Margaux, the story of Château Durfort‑Vivens traces back to the Durfort de Duras line: a former hunting lodge became a wine estate in the 17th century, and the name Vivens was added in 1824. Its status as a Deuxième Cru Classé in 1855 anchors it among Bordeaux’s historic benchmarks.
Under Gonzague Lurton from 1992 onward, the estate sharpened its precision through biodynamic farming and strict parcel thinking, with Cabernet Sauvignon thriving on gravelly Graves rises. In the cellar, TAVA amphorae work alongside French oak barriques, shaping élevage with less imprint and more tactile definition.
Durfort‑Vivens therefore offers more than rank: a contemporary Margaux voice built on deep history—fine tannin grain, lifted aromatics and ageing capacity that keeps the terroir in focus over time.Château Durfort Vivens
