William Kelley im April 2022:
BEST EVER im Wineadvocate.
The 2019 Dufort Vivens is a brilliant Margaux, unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackberries, licorice, sweet soil tones, spices and rose petals. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, rich, powdery tannins and a lively spine of acidity, it concludes with a long and penetrating finish. The blend is dominated by fully 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, which lends the wine immense nobility. Anyone who isn’t aware of just how good Gonzague Lurton’s wines are these days should taste a bottle.
James Suckling über den Chateau Durfort Vivens 2019 Margaux:
Aromas of fresh blueberries, currants, crushed raspberries, tobacco leaves, lemon zest, cocoa and oyster shells. It’s medium-bodied with fine, precise tannins. Supple and silky with excellent freshness. One third aged in terracotta amphora. 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Try from 2025.
Antonio Galloni im Februar 2022:
The 2019 Durfort-Vivens has fleshed out nicely. Silky, red/purplish fruit, blood orange and pomegranate give this plush Margaux fabulous depth. Time in the glass brings out very pretty floral accents to round things out. This classy Margaux is elegant, nuanced and polished. It's a terrific effort from Gonzague Lurton.

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Süße Pflaumenfrucht, ein Hauch von Feigen, etwas Nougat, kandierte Orangenzesten, feine Kräuterwürze im Hintergrund. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, zarte, reife Tannine, bereits sehr entwickelt, bleibt haften, Nuancen von Cassis und Brombeeren im Abgang, feines Säurespiel im Nachhall, bald antrinkbar.
