Notes : Robert Parker 92/100, Bettane & Desseauve 17,5/20, RVF 17/20, Guide Hachette 3***(Vin exceptionnel) + Coup de Coeur
"The deep purple-hued 2009 presents a beautiful nose of blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, licorice, graphite and wood smoke. A great Margaux, flowery and elegant, of exceptional purity, medium-bodied, admirably concentrated and rich. It doesn't lose the typicality of the wines we expect from this region, and tends to be significantly more elegant and less muscular than Saint-Julien, Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe further north. Given its tannic profile, Boyd-Cantenac 2009 requires 5 to 8 years of cellaring and should last for three decades".

Margaux
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (High-quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)
About the domain :
This small 17-hectare vineyard, like its neighbor Château Pouget, is run by its owner Lucien Guillemet. An agronomist and oenologist, a perfectionist by temperament, but one who steers clear of fashions and modernity, he knows his trade perfectly, and in recent vintages has continued to produce complete wines capable of long ageing.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2018 guide) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
A beautiful terroir of thin siliceous gravel (17 ha), a diversified grape variety, including Petit Verdot, and a family with solid Médoc roots, the Guillemets (owners since 1932). The Guillemets don't sacrifice to fashion, aiming for balance and finesse in their wines. An authentic Grand Cru, created in 1754 by a Belfast merchant, and managed since 1996 by oenologist and agronomist Lucien Guillemet.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Lucien Guillemet, a discreet and affable man, runs his estate with the utmost care. Nothing flashy in the cellars or even in the bottles. Nevertheless, the wine is one of the appellation's most enthusiastic classic expressions. It evolves perfectly in bottle, revealing itself to be graceful and very silky. The consistency of recent vintages leads us to award it a second star this year.
