Durfort Vivens Le Plateau 2020 Organic

The Durfort-Vivens Vineyard

The Durfort-Vivens vineyard, composed of 83 blocks, spans 4 communes of the Margaux appellation: Cantenac, Soussans, Margaux, and Arsac.

Assembled, the best plots are the origin of our grand wine, Château Durfort-Vivens. Vinified separately, the blocks of this parcel give rise to 3 cuvées: Les Plantes, Le Plateau, and Le Hameau, “Les Parcelles de Durfort-Vivens”.

These cuvées each represent a facet of the DNA of Durfort-Vivens: Les Plantes for freshness, Le Plateau for power, and Le Hameau for elegance.

“Le Plateau 2020, a powerful and enchanting aromatic complexity. A massive wine with a powerful and long structure that requires time to be tamed.”
