Chateau Durfort Vivens Margaux 2006

2eme Cru Classe 1855

Thomas Jefferson, the American ambassador to France and the future president of the United States, was a Bordeaux wine connoisseur and ranked it directly after Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, and Chateau Margaux in his fascinating travel diaries. To show the tasting acumen of Thomas Jefferson, the 1855 classification ranked Durfort Vivens as a Second Growth. Not exactly just behind Lafite Rothschild, but not that far from that ranking either.
