Château Meyney

Château Meyney is situated in the heart of a contiguous vineyard spanning some fifty hectares within the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region. Its 17th-century owners, the Feuillants, were responsible for the first vineyards planted at Meyney. The Cabernet Sauvignon draws from a perfectly drained terroir of siliceous gravel and, blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, produces a full-bodied, rich, and structured Saint-Estèphe AOC wine. As it matures, Château Meyney’s wine will develop the inimitable charm of the great Saint-Estèphe wines.

Across the 51 hectares of the Château Meyney estate, the vines—with an average age of 35 to 40 years—are divided among 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 possesses a unique feature: a 3-meter-thick vein of blue clay buried underground, which can also be found at Pétrus.

A plan to optimize the entire vineyard, initiated when Château Meyney was acquired, is now being successfully implemented by Anne Le Naour, the estate’s Technical Director, with the guidance of oenologist Denis Dubourdieu.
