Boyd-Cantenac 2009 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Boyd-Cantenac is a Third Growth Margaux estate, owned and run by the Guillemet family since 1932. The grand vin of the estate is typically aged for two years in oak barrels and vats before being bottled. On the 2009 vintage. "The 2009 Boyd-Cantenac is rather sultry on the nose, well defined, classic in style and certainly one of the more elegant Left Banks. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, slightly lower in acidity than its peers, rounded in texture with quite plush, velvety smooth plummy fruit on the finish. Maybe not long-term but this is well crafted. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting." Neal Martin, 2019

The dense purple-hued 2009 exhibits a beautiful nose of blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, licorice, graphite and wood smoke. Flowery and elegant as well as exceptionally pure, medium to full-bodied, admirably concentrated and rich, it is a big Margaux, but does not lose any of the typicity one expects of wines from this area, which tend to be slightly more elegant and less muscular than the St.-Juliens, Pauillacs and St.-Estephes made further north. Given its tannin profile, the 2009 Boyd-Cantenac requires 5-8 years of cellaring and should last for three decades.
This property merits far more attention than it normally receives. While the production at Boyd-Cantenac does not match that of Margaux’s larger estates, this estate consistently over-achieves. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
