Deep ruby in colour. On the nose aromas of perfumed blackberry fruit are married with a subtle spiciness. Velvety tannins coat the palate and a bright acidity carries the flavours onto the scented finish. 'Le Hameau' is a wine defined by elegance.

Fruit for the ‘Le Hameau’ comes from a parcel located near the small hamlet of Cantenac to the south of the Margaux appellation. The vines are planted on deep gravel soils which were deposited by successive riverbeds of the Garonne in the Quaternary period. This magnificent terroir allows the grapes to reach optimum levels of ripeness. All vineyard work is done by hand and pruning is adapted to the vigour of the vine, with the removal of excess buds, shoots and leaves to control yields, bringing added concentration and complexity to the wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines are between 20 to 25 years old and are certified both organic and biodynamic.

Château Durfort-Vivens owes its name to the Durfort de Duras, a powerful family in the south-west of France that came to Margaux in the 14th century. In 1824, the name of Vivens was added when Viscount Robert Labat de Vivens inherited the property.
