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: 87 Drink: The 1982 must be among the most seductive wines this estate has recently made. It boasts a big, lovely, ripe, rich, black currant bouquet, deep, supple, concentrated flavors, a long finish, and adequate tannin for another 5-8 years of cellaring. The 1982 marked a dramatic turnabout in the quality of this estate's wines. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/90.
