After about 30-45 minutes of breathing, it has gradually reached a good state. The fragrance is bold and pleasant. The most important thing is the alluring floral fragrance, ranging from rich violets to light roses. It is very attractive. As soon as I opened the bottle, I was attracted by the typical aroma of the Margaux area. Coupled with the right barrel aroma, there are bursts of coconut milk, latte, chocolate-like aroma, plus the lively black cloth and blueberry aroma, which is very layered. . The acidity and tannins in the mouth are well balanced, and the most important thing is the silky and light body of the wine, which is very elegant and Margaux, fully showing the elegant side of the ladies of the Margaux region.

The main wines of Becatana Manor include one main wine - Chateau Boyd Cantenac, three second wines - Jacques Boyd, La Croix de Boyd-Cantenac, Josephine de Boyd and a white wine - Alto de Cantenac Brown. Among them, the winery's official wine has appeared in the popular Japanese comic "The Drops of God": the protagonist Shizuku Kamisaki discovered many unique and high-quality wines in the process of searching for "The Drops of God". One of them is the red wine of Chateau Becatana, which has been compared to a "masquerade". Shizuku Kamisaki describes its aroma as "the smell of smoke and an indescribable earthy aroma, the aroma of the earth filled with dew from the vast garden." The winery's second wine is made from grapes produced from younger vines in the vineyard. It is lighter and more fruity than the first wine, and it does not need to be aged for many years to reach the drinking stage.
[Bordeaux third-level winery Grand Cru Classes]
Chateau Boyd Cantenac is located in the wine-producing village of Margaux in the Medoc region of Bordeaux, France. It was rated as a third-growth estate in the 1855 Classification. Chateau Becatana has always insisted on producing elegant wines in the traditional style of the Margaux region, which is loved by many wine lovers.
Becatana Manor was founded in 1754 by Jacques Boyd, a descendant of Scottish immigrants. Jacques Boy combined his surname with the name of the village where the winery is located, Cantenac, and named the winery Boyd Cantenac, a name that has been used to this day. In 1806, due to a marriage, the winery was transferred to the name of John Lewis Brown. After many years of operation, the winery was rated as a third growth in the 1855 classification.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Becatana estate was acquired by the famous Ginestet family. The Guinness family already owned several wineries at that time, including the famous Chateau Margaux. Later, the Ginas family encountered an economic crisis, and the Becatana estate was sold in order to maintain operations. Then in 1932, Pierre Guillemet, the owner of Chateau Pouget, bought the estate. Since then, Chateau Becatana has been managed by the Guillemet family, which has gone through four generations. The current owner and chief winemaker is Lucien Guillemet.
