93 Robert Parker
An opaque blue/purple color is accompanied by impressively sweet floral notes intermixed with black currant and blackberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied with high but round tannins, the 2010 Boyd-Cantenac is exceptionally well-endowed, textured and pure. This under-the-radar estate (a classified growth in the famous 1855 rankings) never seems to catch the attention of consumers. It deserves better. Enjoy the 2010 for 25 or more years.
93 Wine Spectator
Very ripe, but with superfresh acidity to keep the lush plum, raspberry and black currant notes fresh, while melted licorice and a long, violet-filled finish come in behind. Score range: 90-93 –JM

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Weichseln und Wildkrischen, getrockneter Rosenpfeffer und würzige Tabaknoten. Mittelgewichtiger Gaumen mit schönen, stützenden Muskeln, im Extrakt fehlt leider die Süsse und die Tannine zeigen sich kapselig. warten (2018 - 2032)

Producer
Château Boyd-Cantenac
The Boyd family was a prominent family of Belfast merchants, exporters of wool to be more exact. The fall of the wool market led them to emigrate to the mainland. They settled in Bordeaux, acquiring the Cantenac vineyard in 1754. The vineyard was taken over by John Lewis Brown of Château Brown and later by the Ginestet family. Since 1932, Château Boyd-Cantenac has belonged to the Guillemet family. Lucien Guillemet is currently at the head of the estate having left Château Giscours in 1996, where he worked as general manager to better focus on his own property. Covering an area of 17 hectares in the heart of the Margaux appellation, the vineyard lies on fine and well-draining siliceous gravel, which warms the soils and allows the vines to develop deep roots. Depending on the vintage, the vineyard produces between 50,000-90,000 bottles per year.
