Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
A mouthwatering Margaux made with the utmost respect for the environment
Made using sought-after grapes from prized Margaux vineyards, this silky-smooth, bio-dynamic Bordeaux features a delicious blend of rich Cabernet Sauvignon and velvety Merlot.
Intense purple in colour and beautifully complex on the nose. Give it a sniff and you’ll be hit with intriguing notes of cherry blossom and mouthwatering red and black fruits. All those aromatic delights follow through nicely on the palate with fine and subtle spicy tannins.
This is a wine with a rich history - Fun fact! US President Thomas Jefferson of Mount Rushmore fame ranked Durfort-Vivens as one of the finest chateaus in Bordeaux - but perhaps its future is even brighter. Durfort-Vivens was the first estate in Margaux to go fully organic back in 2013, and for almost 10 years now every single drop of their wine has been made with 100% planet-friendly, bio-dynmaic grapes. Talk about making a good thing even greater.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gonzague Lurton
-
Gonzague is one of ten children of Lucien Lurton, a champion of the region who owned many of its finest estates. The Lurton name still rings widely around Bordeaux today.
-
When Gonzague’s dad retired in 1992, he divided up his properties between his kids. Having grown up running around his father’s Margaux vineyards, spending summers pruning vines or helping out in the cellar, Gonzague had his heart set on one property in particular and he let his dad know - ‘it’s Durfort-Vivens or bust’. Dad duly obliged.
-
An illustrious Second Growth estate - right up there with Bordeaux’s best - Durfort-Vivens has a rich history but, since Gonzague took over, perhaps the future is even brighter. Over 30 years, he’s introduced lots of ingenious ideas, like bringing in Geologists to optimise his plots and using terracotta jars for ageing, in the pursuit of pure fruit expression. And in 2013, Durfort-Vivens was the first estate in Margaux to go fully-organic. So for almost 10 years now, every single drop of Gonzague’s wine has been made with 100% planet-friendly, organic grapes. Talk about making a good thing even greater.
