Sitting proudly on the Medoc’s highest plateau, our former Lafite-Rothschild vineyard, Château LE VIVIER has consistently produced the finest CRU BOURGEOIS quality wines for over three centuries.
Château LE VIVIER is vinified in an elegant fruit-forward style, with ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit, balanced by a rich, medium to full-bodied palate, and smooth silky tannins.
With Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (50%), growing on limestone-clay based soil, our unique terroir delivers rich and complex wines with minimal intervention, winning awards and recognition around the world.
Our philosophy is somewhat different to many in Bordeaux. In 1990 we built the largest underground cellar in the Médoc, locally known as "The Cathedral", where we have the ability to stock over 10 separate vintages, releasing the wines as they become ready to drink.
At Chateau LE VIVIER we have long embraced a policy of sustainable agriculture, not only to preserve our natural environment, but more importantly to allow mother nature’s influence to be fully expressed in every vintage we produce.
Today vintages from 2004 to 2007 are currently being enjoyed in over 40 countries around the world.
