93 Robert Parker
Containing fully 97% Cabernet Sauvignon this year, the 2021 Durfort Vivens shows considerable promise, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's velvety and impressively concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. Tasted twice.<br/><br/><br/>
Producer
Château Durfort Vivens
Originally established by the Durfort de Duras family during the 14th century, Château Durfort-Vivens was classified as a Second Growth in the famed 1855 ranking. Today, the estate is run by Gonzague Lurton, son of Lucien Lurton, who purchased the property in 1961. Gonzague has breathed new life into the château with his knowledge of the terroir and sustainable viticulture practices. The wines for the most part have a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, most times the highest in the southern Médoc. The resulting wines are fruit-forward with sizable tannins and structure.
