Château Meyney

Château Meyney is located in the center of a single vineyard covering some fifty hectares in the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region. Its 17th-century owners, the Feuillant Fathers, were responsible for the first plantings at Meyney. Cabernet Sauvignon draws on perfectly drained siliceous gravel soil and, combined with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, produces a full-bodied, fleshy, and structured AOC Saint-Estèphe wine. When mature, Château Meyney wine develops the inimitable charm of the great Saint-Estèphe wines.

On the 51 hectares of the Château Meyney estate, the vines, which are on average 35-40 years old, are divided between Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (10%). In addition to the Garonne gravel that makes up the soil, the Château Meyney vineyard has a unique feature: a 3-meter-thick vein of blue clay buried in the subsoil, which can also be found at Pétrus.

A plan to optimize the entire vineyard, initiated when Château Meyney was purchased, is now being carried out by Anne Le Naour, Technical Director of the estate, with the advice of oenologist Denis Dubourdieu.
