" Great aromatic breed, powerful, clean body, complex tannin, splendid purity of expression ". (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011- Bettane & Desseauve). Born on a perfectly drained terroir of siliceous gravel, this Saint-Estèphe is synonymous with harmony and balance. The utmost care is taken to deliver a wine with typical red fruit aromas, in a beautiful aromatic complexity...

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Bought by CA Grands Crus in 2004, Meyney is a little jewel of Médoc architecture, prized as much for its location as for the quality of its wines. The fifty or so hectares surrounding the château, situated on a ridge of siliceous gravel and deep blue clay on the banks of the Gironde, give Cabernet Sauvignon the upper hand. The wines have regained the lustre of their heyday. They have long-ageing potential. A must-try.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
The cru is unquestionably one of the best "non classé" in the Médoc. It boasts a remarkable terroir on the banks of the Gironde, and is efficiently managed by the CA Grands Crus (Crédit Agricole) teams, now headed by Anne le Naour. A plan to restructure the vineyard has been implemented, and the latest vintages are comparable to those of the legendary 61, 86 or 89. Meyney is a rather slow-moving, long-distance runner, reaching his peak after a good ten years.
