Chateau Durfort-Vivens 2012

Avis professionnels

James Suckling (91)

This shows impressive depth and fruit for the vintage with blueberry and chocolate character. Full body, with well-integrated tannins and a velvety finish.

Jancis Robinson (16)

79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in barrel (50% new oak). 31.5 hl/ha. Start of organic and biodynamic conversion.
Garnet hue. Leafy note on the nose. Round but fresh on the palate, the acidity present. Not quite fully ripe but fruit present, tannins fine and more precision than 2011. Clean finish.
