Château Durfort-Vivens is a biodynamic wine producer owned by Gonzague Lurton since the 1990s. The estate’s Grand Vin is made from the best plots of vineyards in four villages within the Margaux appellation – Cantenac, Soussans, Margaux and Arsac – all of which are vinified separately. The 2010 vintage is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in barrel [50% new oak]. Expect plenty of ripe dark fruit, balanced by some lovely hints of mint and anise. Ready to be enjoyed now.
