{"product_id":"chateau-boyd-cantenac-1985","title":"Chateau Boyd-Cantenac Margaux 1985 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Guillemet family have owned Boyd-Cantenac since 1932, which by Bordeaux standards makes them settled rather than new. It is a small Third Growth of around seventeen hectares in the commune of Cantenac, inside the Margaux appellation, and it has long been made alongside the family's other classed growth, Château Pouget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the wine apart is the blend. Where much of Margaux leans on perfume, Boyd-Cantenac plants an unusually high share of Cabernet Sauvignon and keeps a real proportion of Petit Verdot, so the wine has more grip and darker fruit than the appellation's reputation implies. It is old-fashioned in the good sense: unshowy, structured, made to be kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1985 was a kind vintage in the Médoc, with a warm dry late summer after a hard winter, producing wines that were generous young and have aged gently. At forty years old this will be fully resolved, tertiary and quiet. A classed growth from a good year, sold for the year it names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Boyd-Cantenac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaux AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e The high Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot give this more backbone than most Margaux, which favours survival, though at forty years the wine will be fully resolved and delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e A well-judged forty-first birthday present for someone who appreciates an old-school classed growth without paying for a famous name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e The label is very slightly bin-soiled from years in a cellar rack, and the wine is filled to the base of the neck, which is an excellent level for a forty-year-old Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
