Margaux Cru Classé 2000, Château Durfort-Vivens

Ranked as a Second Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, the estate was bought by the company owning Chateau Margaux, whose main shareholder at that time was the Lurton family. in 1961 Lucien Lurton, a great lover and protector of wine-loving terroirs, acquired and restored this exceptional vineyard. In 1992 his son Gonzague inherited the property. He modernized its operation with a view to developing the terroir’s unique qualities. Aromas of redcurrants, blueberries, violets, and light tobacco. Smooth on the palate with fine tannins and a long finish.
