Why We're Buying
Château Durfort-Vivens gets better with time. In fact, it's the only Bordeaux wine estate to jump from a fifth-growth to a second-growth classification ever. The Margaux property produces a red blend that changes based on the vintage, making each year's production unique.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2020 Durfort-Vivens is an exotic, full-throttle wine. Heat and lack of rain between May and August yielded small berries with naturally concentrated juice. That comes through in the wine's ripe, luscious personality. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare, lower than normal. Small berries yielded a Durfort of tremendous richness. I imagine the 2020 will need quite a bit of time in bottle to be at its best. Today, it is quite the powerhouse. The 2020 is aging 67 new oak and 33 terracotta vats. 93-95
