More about 2019 Château Dufort-Vivens Le Hameau Gonzague Lurton Margaux Located in Margaux, Château Dufort-Vivens is a storied estate steeped in centuries of viticultural & vinicultural legacy. Its roots trace back to the 18th century under the stewardship of the visionary Dufort de Lajarte family. With time, this illustrious property exchanged hands, each transition adding layers to its tale until 1961, when the legendary Lurton family seized the reins, infusing the estate with renewed vigor and passion. The Estate's vineyards extend over four villages of Margaux—Cantenac, Soussans, Margaux, and Arsac—and are planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These primal varieties of the Margaux appellation thrive in the region's gravelly soils, contributing to the characteristic elegance and finesse of the wines produced at the estate. The 2019 vintage is a traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, fermented and aged in oak barrels and terracotta jars. This produces a flawlessly seductive red wine that offers a classic representation of Margaux from one of the region's top families.
