Chateau Boyd-Cantenac is a winery in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region of France.
The wine produced here was classified as one of fourteen Troisiemes Crus (Third Growths) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.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 Chateau 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, Chateau Boyd-Cantenac has belonged to the Guillemet family.
The vineyard, totalling 46 acres (190,000 m2), is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot and abuts other Margaux chateaux, including Chateau Brane-Cantenac and Chateau Kirwan. Producing annually 5,000-6,000 cases.
Boyd Cantenac makes in addition to its Grand vin, a second wine under the labels Jacques Boyd and Josephine de Boyd.
