Durfort Vivens 2ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2022

Durfort Vivens 2022 is a refined Margaux from one of the appellation’s most respected estates, offering the poise, fragrance, and precision that make this left-bank Bordeaux so sought after. As a 2ème Grand Cru Classé, it combines pedigree with finesse, delivering the elegance and structure that collectors and Bordeaux lovers value.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep ruby color with vivid purple reflections in youth. On the nose, expect classic Margaux perfume: blackcurrant, red cherry, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, with the Cabernet-driven profile balanced by a silky, polished character. On the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a layered core of dark berries, plum, graphite, and toasted oak. The finish should be long and graceful, with the structure to age beautifully for many years, gradually revealing more complexity, earthiness, and tertiary notes.

Production
Durfort Vivens is located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, where gravelly soils and excellent drainage encourage ripeness while preserving freshness and aromatic lift. In a warm, carefully managed vintage like 2022, the estate’s fruit is typically harvested parcel by parcel to capture optimal maturity and precision. Vinification is generally aimed at preserving purity and finesse, with careful extraction and élevage in oak to support the wine’s structure and complexity.

Food & Serving
This Margaux pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and mushroom-based dishes. It also works well with truffle risotto or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromas and tannins to fully open.

Producer
Durfort Vivens is a historic Margaux estate with deep roots in Bordeaux and a long-standing reputation for producing elegant, classically styled wines.
