Durfort-Vivens Les Plantes 2019 Bio

Description

The Durfort-Vivens vineyard spans 4 communes of the Margaux appellation: Cantenac, Soussans, Margaux, and Arsac. Combined, the best plots are the origin of our grand wine, Château Durfort-Vivens. Vinified separately, the blocks of this plot 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.

« Les Plantes is a little bomb of flavors, an outrageous seduction. On the nose, notes of chocolate coexist with iodized hints. All sprinkled with oriental spices. On the palate, this wine unfolds a beautiful freshness. The material can recall the texture of a chocolate pastry, combining power and softness. »
