Tasting Notes

The 2024 Durfort-Vivens is laced with dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, spice and mocha. It offers gorgeous texture and fine balance. The pliant, creamy mid-palate is especially appealing. The 2024 is naturally still coming together, but it is a striking, beautifully rendered wine.

Score: 92 - 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2034-2054 Date: 29 April 2025

A blend of 94.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Durfort Vivens exhibits aromas of cassis, dark berries, violet and spices. Medium to full-bodied, dense and structured, it's framed by a good chassis of tannins, with a lively mid-palate that segues into a somewhat austere, firm finish. Despite this compact aftertaste, this is a strong effort in the context of the vintage.

Score: 89 - 91 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 23 April 2025

Lovely deep plum colour, this is very high Cabernet Sauvignon but this is an estate where they often goes high, (2021 vintage was even higher than this at 97%). Savoury, slim, floral, precise and vivid, salinity, grip, lovely sense of lift and grip. 3.75 pH. Harvest 23 September to 8 October. 37 hl/ha. 70% new oak, 30% in amphora.
