  • What the experts say...

    "Dun rubis-pourpre profond, il exhale de riches parfums de fruits noirs, de terre, d'herbes séchées et de cuir nuancés de sirop contre la toux à la cerise. L'ensemble moyennement corsé et faible en acidité, manifeste une très grande pureté malgré sa maturité et son étoffe. Opulent et flatteur, le Boyd-Cantenac 2003 sera accessible dès sa jeunesse."

    The wine

    Boyd-Cantenac's wine is distinguished by its character and its subtle bouquet that make it so popular with Margaux fans. This wine is aged for about two years in oak barrels and vats before being bottled. It will benefit from being kept in the cellar for many years before being drunk.

    Information about domain Château Boyd-Cantenac

    Boyd-Cantenac has belonged to the Guillemet family since 1932, who have devoted themselves to developing this property, and Château Pouget, which they also own. Its vineyard lies on sandy-gravelly soil with a very high proportion of gravel. Average production for the last 20 years has been 40 hectolitres per hectare. All the processes of great wine are combined: low yield, quality of the terroir and choice of grape varieties.
