“Great aromatic character, powerful and well-defined body, complex tannins, splendid purity of expression. ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011—Bettane & Desseauve). Grown on a perfectly drained terroir of siliceous gravel, this Saint-Estèphe is synonymous with harmony and balance. The utmost care is taken to produce a wine with typical red fruit aromas and beautiful aromatic complexity...

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2019 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Acquired by CA Grands Crus in 2004, Meyney is a little gem of Médoc architecture, prized as much for its location as for the quality of its wines. The approximately 50 hectares surrounding the château, situated on a ridge of siliceous gravel and deep blue clay along the banks of the Gironde, provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines have regained the luster of their heyday. They possess excellent aging potential. A must-try.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This wine is unquestionably one of the best “unclassified” wines in the Médoc. It’s worth noting that it benefits from a remarkable terroir on the banks of the Gironde River and is efficiently managed by the teams at CA Grands Crus (Crédit Agricole), now led by Anne le Naour. A vineyard restructuring plan has been implemented, and the most recent vintages are comparable to the estate’s legendary ’61, ’86, and ’89 vintages. Meyney develops rather slowly and is a true long-distance runner; it reaches its peak after a good ten years.
