Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, April 2012

60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 8% cabernet franc, and 7% petit verdot. 50% new oak. Pretty ruby core with a garnet rim. A classic Margaux nose of red currant, cherry, and cassis with a touch of light rose petal and some scorched earth. Pretty and medium-bodied with bright red currant flavor as the dominant characteristic. The medium-length finish is rustic and slightly austere. Nervy acidity leads me to believe this could use some bottle age. Enjoy 2015-2023.

Impressive concentration here with lots of fruit and ultra-soft tannins. Full and juicy. Really well done here.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2012

An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of creme de cassis and licorice intermixed with notions of truffles and graphite. Rich, full-bodied and concentrated, the 2011 Boyd-Cantenac merits serious interest. Moreover, it often sells at a very realistic price, so readers take note. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030. 89-91+

About Winery

Created in 1754 by Jacques BOYD, of Irish origin, the estate was purchased by John Lewis BROWN in 1806, who was related to the Boyd family by marriage.

Since the wines from BOYD-CANTENAC had been recognised and traded for a century, in 1855 the Château was classified Third Growth, in the Grand Cru classification of the Bordeaux wines.

The estate belonged to the GINESTET family, once owner of CHATEAU MARGAUX, before coming to the current owners in the early 1930s.

After the economic crisis which greatly affected the vineyards after the first world war, Pierre Guillemet brought BOYD-CANTENAC back to life in the sixties. Since, its wines regularly bring their contribution to the Art of Living and to the expression of the terroir of MARGAUX. Not following changing and short-lived fashions, BOYD-CANTENAC remains true to the style of traditional Margaux wines.
