Château Durfort-Vivens 2025 obtient l’excellente note de 96-98 attribuée par The Drinks Business.
Le critique Colin Hay signe un commentaire particulièrement élogieux qu’il conclut par ces mots : « A special wine and a coup de coeur for me ».
« This is an easy pick and it’s truly enticing, beguiling and utterly delicious. There’s really only one other wine than Durfort-Vivens that this could be, tasted blind - and that’s Rauzan-Ségla. Authoritative and articulate on the palate, this has the most gracious, delicate, soft, ethereal and relaxed presence, with lovely cedary and floral notes delightfully interwoven with dark fruits. The rose petal, iris, peony and violet notes simply delight. The fruit is jet black - black cherry, with a lovely natural sweetness and blackberry, perfectly ripe. Spherical at the core and densely packed with floral-enrobed fruits, with lovely tactile tannins that sculpt the finish but never disrupt the almost sinuous flow of the fruit over the palate, I find this thrilling. A special wine and a coup de coeur for me. »
