Château Boyd-Cantenac
A third growth of 1855 in the Margaux appellation, in the commune of Cantenac, Boyd-Cantenac is one of the smallest classified growths in the Médoc. It comes, together with Cantenac Brown, from the break-up of the estate built by Jacques Boyd: the two growths were classified separately in 1855, at the same rank.
