Durfort Vivens Le Plateau 2019 Organic

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 captivating aromatic complexity. A massive wine with a powerful and long structure that requires time to be tamed.”
