In a few words ...
Lucien Guillemet, owner of Château Boyd-Cantenac, classified as a Margaux Third Growth, calls on no fewer than 4 grape varieties in this first wine: around 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, a quarter Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vines occupy a soil that suits them perfectly, with well-draining siliceous gravel. After hand-picking, the wine is vinified in stainless steel and cement vats, then aged for 12 to 18 months in merrain oak barrels, with a high proportion of new wood.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted
Taste
On the palate the best Margaux are those who have perfectly integrated their tannins in their structure, giving roundness. We find the aromas of the nose namely black fruits and tertiary flavors such as leather, vanilla.
