Chateau ‘Jacques Boyd’ Margaux is a powerfully rich red Bordeaux with a nose of dark fruits, chocolate and oak.
Boyd-Cantenac are one of the most esteemed producers in Margaux. The estate makes this as a “second wine” from vines that undergo the same painstaking treatment to ensure low yields of high-quality fruit. The fruit is picked and sorted entirely by hand allowing a selection of the best fruit for use in the wine. The wine is fermented in inert containers and left to macerate on skins for a further 8-30 days after fermentation depending on the vintage. The wine ages in oak barrels (30-50% new) for between 12 and 24 months. Producers then rack it when it has reached an optimum maturity.
The blend is usually about two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, and one third Merlot with a token amount of Cabernet Franc. The Chateau released it as one of the more opulent and forward wines of any vintage. It’s meant to be approachable relatively young. Never disappointing and a rather well-kept secret we think.
This 2015 Magnum needs a good 5-6 hours decanting prior to serving. It would also certainly benefit from further bottle ageing in cellar. It is big, bold, concentrated and highly structured.
Enjoy Chateau ‘Jacques Boyd’ Margaux alongside hearty meat dishes to balance its power.
