Durfort Vivens 2ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2022

Durfort Vivens 2022 is a refined Margaux from one of the Médoc’s most respected Second Growth estates, offering the elegance and precision that define the appellation. Known for its lifted aromatics, fine tannins, and graceful structure, it combines classic Bordeaux pedigree with a modern attention to purity and detail.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep ruby color with a brilliant, polished sheen. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, cedar, and subtle graphite, all wrapped in a fresh Margaux perfume. On the palate, it is poised and finely textured, with ripe black fruit, fresh acidity, and silky tannins that give the wine both tension and charm. The finish is long and composed, with floral and mineral nuances lingering behind the fruit. While already attractive for its clarity and balance, 2022 has the structure and concentration to age beautifully, developing greater complexity over 10 to 20 years, and likely longer in a good cellar.

Production
Durfort Vivens is located in the heart of Margaux, where the gravel-rich terroir provides excellent drainage and helps the vines produce wines of finesse and aromatic lift. The estate’s vineyards benefit from the tempering influence of the Gironde estuary and the classic Left Bank climate, supporting steady ripening and freshness in the fruit. Winemaking focuses on preserving purity, precision, and the elegant character of the terroir through careful harvesting and thoughtful vinification.

Food & Serving
This Margaux pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, veal, or game birds, as well as mushroom-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine’s aromatics and tannins to open fully.
