Chateau Boyd-Cantenac 2018

The Freshness and Finesse of a Silky-Smooth Margaux

A prestigious reference of the Margaux appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Chateau Boyd-Cantenac has released a beautiful 2018 vintage.

The climatic conditions of the 2018 vintage were marked by two very different periods: very wet months at the beginning of the season, followed by a beautiful summer that was dry and hot. The thermal variation between day and night during the month of August allowed the fruit to ripen beautifully.

At Chateau Boyd-Cantenac, the harvest took place between October 1st and 23rd, with each parcel picked only when its fruit had reached a perfect level of ripeness and excellent health.

Each grape included in the blend of Chateau Boyd-Cantenac 2018 (which was made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 6% Cabernet Franc) is fully expressed in the glass.

First, the Chateau Boyd-Cantenac 2018 presents a beautiful dense color in the glass.
