"Mr. Jacques Boyd, an Irishman by birth, was an
eighteenth-century squire in the region. In 1754 he
purchased Boyd Cantenac, an estate acquired in 1806
by John Lewis Brown, united by marriage with the
Boyd family. The Guillemet family entered the picture
at this 3rd Cru Classé in 1932, determined to promote
the estate’s reputation to new heights. This 17 hectare
vineyard, is enviably located on the Cantenac plateau,
on gravelly outcrops yielding wines of remarkable
elegance and finesse, and is the biggest producer in the
Margaux appellation."
