Chateau Boyd-Cantenac Grand Cru Classe 2017
On 17 hectares, located in the heart of the siliceous gravels of the Margaux Appellation, these warm, naturally well-drained soils from the Quaternary permit roots to grow deep. Ideal vine age averaging 42 years, optimum plant density of 10 000 vines per hectare and typical varietals: majority Cabernet Sauvignon, all come together to produce wines of rare quality and uncontested character, intense and with great finesse. Over the past two hundred years, the wines of Chateau Boyd-Cantenac have been made in the tradition of the great wines of Margaux.
Gevrey Chambertin 'Dix Climats', Domaine Drouhin-Laroze 2021
Domaine Drouhin-Laroze's 'Dix Climats' captures the essence of village Gevrey-Chambertin through a thoughtful blend of ten different vineyard parcels. This approach creates a wine that speaks to the commune's character rather than any single site, offering the structure and earthiness that makes Gevrey famous without the premium of Grand Cru pricing. We find this 2021 showing the vintage's combination of freshness and concentration beautifully. The wine has that distinctive Gevrey backbone - serious without being stern, with red cherry fruit wrapped in the sort of mineral precision that comes from old vines and careful winemaking. Give it until 2028 to fully integrate, then enjoy until 2040.
