In 2006, Stephane Derenoncourt, one of Bordeaux’s great winemakers, agreed to become a consultant to Boxwood and is now very much part of the team. This is a winery that pays astonishing attention to every aspect of their winemaking. Rachel Martin oversees the whole operation and makes the wine with resident winemaker Adam McTaggart and Stephane Derenoncourt.
