History

The Boyds were an important family of Belfast traders originating from Scotland. All along their history they retained a tradition of commerce and international relations as well as emigration. They were present in Bordeaux as early as the 17th century and it was Jacques Boyd who gave his name to the vineyard in Cantenac when he acquired it in 1754.

The estate was subsequently purchased, in 1806, by John Lewis Brown, of Château Brown, who was related to the Boyd family by marriage.

The 1855 classification consecrated the Cru of Boyd-Cantenac and its capacity to produce, over more than one century, wines of international class.

Since 1932, Château Boyd-Cantenac has belonged to the Guillemet family.

WINEMAKING

With aging, for which they have a remarkable aptitude, each vintage affirms its personality and becomes a stirring testimony to the past.

All along the vegetative cycle, the best possible conditions are created in which to obtain ripe, well-constituted and healthy grapes.

Pruning, performed manually in winter, determines the number of shoots each vine will produce the following growing season. It is the first important act in the cycle and has a bearing on the future harvest, as well as the long-term health of the plant.

Manual operations employed in spring and summer remove unnecessary shoots, placing in better position those that will produce the harvest. This also assures better distribution of leaves and grape clusters, which then find themselves aerated, well-exposed to the sun, well-spaced on the row, and in controlled quantity.The greatest care is brought to each different operation : the number of workers is doubled from May to July, and quadrupled during the harvest period.

Chateau Boyd Cantenac 列級莊三級莊 —— 神之水滴第 4 集推介

漫畫內的精彩敘述：

這是 —— 深深的紅寶石色

簡直就像貴族的寶石一樣剔透

這裡是......化妝舞會。

有很甜美的香味，對了，是杏仁的香味和甜味。

很香，帶著像熏過的煙味

還有......豐鬱的土地香氣。

在廣闊無邊的庭園裡的，含有露水的大地的芳香。

我從酒的這邊清楚看到了，

盛裝打扮的貴族不知在哪裡舉行持續一整晚的優雅迷幻宴會。

「Boyd Cantenac?」

就是那間每年的生產很不是穩定的不顯眼3級Chateau?

原來如此，有這一支酒呢。

連 Robert Parker 都給予這支 01 年是自己喝過的葡萄酒中最高的榮譽。

他曾經以「Bravo!(絕妙)」這句最好的讚辭來形容這支酒。
