Chateau Durfort-Vivens 2009 Vintage Overview

2009 OVERVIEW

Ripe blackberries and plum leap from the glass of the 2009 Château Durfort-Vivens, shaded by notes of sweet tobacco, cocoa and a touch of dried flowers. The palate is supple yet structured, combining generous, sun‑warmed fruit with fresh acidity and firm, building tannins that give this Margaux both polish and grip. It finishes long, savoury and slightly earthy, showing the power and warmth of the 2009 vintage without losing its sense of refinement.

About Chateau Durfort-Vivens

Château Durfort-Vivens is the biodynamically farmed Grand Vin of this historic 2ème Cru Classé Margaux estate, a Cabernet Sauvignon–dominant red renowned for its finesse, silky tannins and pure blackcurrant-and-cassis character. Sourced from deep gravel soils across several Margaux villages and typically aged about 18 months in a mix of French oak barrels and clay amphorae, it marries classic Margaux perfume and elegance with a modern emphasis on precision, freshness and terroir expression.
