Wine and spirits masterpieces to your doorstep
Le Château Durfort-Vivens is a Domaine nestled in the heart of the Margaux appellation. Its history dates back to the 15th century, when it was just a hunting lodge belonging to the Durfort de Duras knights, which only became a Domaine vineyard in the 17th century. Read more
Thomas Jefferson, US ambassador to France, praised Château Durfort in his travel notes in 1787, ranking it just behind Châteaux Lafite, Latour and Margaux. It wasn't until 1824 that Domaine passed into the hands of the de Vivens family, who thus attached their name to it.
Second Château Durfort-Vivens was thus named Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
In 1961, Château was bought by François Lurton, who handed over the reins to his son Gonzague in 1992. With a view to respecting the environment and producing a wine with the purest expression of fruit, Château Durfort-Vivens will be the first of the Margaux Crus Classés to be certified Organic as well as Biodynamic. The cellar of Domaine is notably renowned for being the world's largest amphora cellar by volume, the amphora favoring the purity of the fruit.
Laying on gravelly soils facing the Garonne River, the Château vineyard covers 62 hectares of vines, including 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot destined for the Grand Vin and the Second vin, the Relais de Durfort-Vivens. Just under one hectare of vines is planted with white grape varieties, Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon, used to produce the estate's Sec white wine, Durfort-Vivens Blanc de Noir.
The wines of Château Durfort-Vivens are among the finest and most elegant in the Margaux appellation. They are silky, precise and fruity.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!
It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
