The Château Durfort-Vivens vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for growing Bordeaux grape varieties. The vines, averaging 30 years old, benefit from a favorable microclimate, influenced by the proximity of the Garonne River. This unique geographical location allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing rich and complex aromas. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, aiming to preserve biodiversity and guarantee the quality of the grapes.

Owner and history

Currently, Château Durfort-Vivens is managed by the Lurton family, who have revitalized the estate since acquiring it in the 1990s. Passionate about their craft, they have invested in modern methods while respecting tradition. Their commitment to sustainable and high-quality viticulture is reflected in every vintage they produce. The Lurton family strives to perpetuate the legacy of this grand cru, while also seeking to innovate to meet the expectations of wine lovers worldwide.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Durfort-Vivens is carried out with care and precision. The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for rigorous selection. After delicate destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, promoting the extraction of aromas. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 18 months. This aging process imparts complexity and finesse to the wine, while respecting the character of the terroir.
