Chateau Dufort Vivens 2002
Chateau Durfort Vivens 2002 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Official Classification, the estate is currently owned and managed by Gonzague Lurton, who inherited it from his father, Lucien Lurton, in 1992. The winery's philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for terroir, with an early commitment to organic and biodynamic practices; it was later certified for both by 2016. The estate is named after the powerful Durfort de Duras family and the Viscount of Vivens, a lineage that dates back to the 14th century.
Wine Description
This vintage possesses a deep crimson or dark ruby appearance. The nose is characterized by a classic bouquet of red fruits, blackcurrants, and violets, layered with complex notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and earth. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and polished, featuring a balanced structure of fine tannins and fresh acidity. Stylistically, it is lauded for its elegance and harmony, offering a savory profile that transitions into a long, juicy finish. The varietal composition is a traditional Red Bordeaux Blend, typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
