美國總統湯瑪斯傑弗(Thomas Jefferson) 於 1775 年在他的波爾多之旅中被 Château Durfort Vivens 酒莊的酒質所吸引，直接將它排在 Château Lafite-Rothschild，Château Haut-Brion 和 Château Margaux 之後。1824 年，酒莊被Vivens 先生買下，同時更名爲 Château Durfort-Vivens。1855 年 Château Durfort Vivens 酒莊被評爲二級酒莊。
WA: 86 Drink: The well-balanced, admirably constructed, muscular 1983 Durfort is leaner and more austere than many of its Margaux counterparts. It has concentrated, ripe, rich fruitiness, plenty of aggressive tannins, and good length. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 2/91.
