Chateau Durfort Vivens Margaux 2016

A stellar vintage from one of Margaux’s esteemed Second Growth estates, the 2016 Château Durfort-Vivens is a masterclass in expressive Cabernet-led elegance. Crafted mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon with a splash of Merlot, this wine unfolds with vivid aromas of mirabelle plum and cedar, backed by a powerful acidic drive and refined tannic grip. The palate enchants with rich black fruits, dark chocolate, and layered oak. Scoring up to 97 points from Wine Enthusiast and similarly high acclaim from James Suckling, Peter Winding, and Neal Martin, the wine balances immediacy with longevity—drink from 2025 to 2039 for peak enjoyment.
