While the estate known as Chateau Haut-Bailly dates back to 1461, its wine production began in 1530, falling into the hands of the de Leuvarde and Le Bailly families in 1630. It was purchased in 1998 by Robert G Wilmers, a Harvard-educated banker, and his French wife Elisabeth and under their care, the estate has begun producing some of the best wines in its history. The cellars and production procedures were renovated and modernised and this year, the Chateau itself was awarded government recognition of its cultural and vinious heritage.

The 2017 Chateau Boyd Cantenac from Margaux, Bordeaux, France is a true testament to the rich and complex terroir of the region. This vintage is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, resulting in a deep ruby red color with hints of purple. On the nose, one is greeted by intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-structured and balanced, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This 2017 vintage from Chateau Boyd Cantenac is a must-try for any Bordeaux lover and will continue to evolve beautifully with age.
