Viniou Reviews

The 2020 Château Fort Vivens is a red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux region's Médoc subregion. Known for producing wines of elegance and finesse, Margaux is renowned for its gravelly soils ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, typically the dominant grape in its blends. Margaux's temperate maritime climate, influenced by the Gironde estuary, promotes the gradual ripening of grapes, contributing to the balance and complexity that characterize this wine. Château Fort Vivens combines traditional vinification techniques with modern practices, fostering refinement. The estate has built a reputation for crafting wines that emphasize structure and aromatic grace, even without an official classification designation.

For an optimal gastronomic experience, pair this Margaux with roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or duck breast with a berry sauce. The wine's refined tannins and rich flavours complement meats cooked to perfection. Additionally, its complexity is beautifully accentuated by regional dishes like Bordeaux's own entrecôte à la bordelaise or a creamy mushroom risotto, which highlights the earthy undertones of the wine.

To truly appreciate this wine, serve it at a temperature of around 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting for about an hour will help to open its bouquet. When tasting, start by holding the glass against a white background to observe its rich colour. Nose the wine to take in the nuanced aromas, from red fruits to subtle earthy traces. On the palate, let the wine linger to relish its complexity and balanced structure.
