"Dark color. Deep nose, dense palate, very rounded, beautiful texture, noble tannins. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). Born on perfectly drained siliceous gravel soil, this is a deep and intense Saint-Estèphe with aromas of red fruit, beautiful floral scents, powerful and very refined on the palate... A beautiful red not to be missed!

Wine rated (2011 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2019 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Dark color. Deep nose, dense palate, very rounded, beautiful texture, noble tannins.
About the estate:
Acquired by CA Grands Crus in 2004, Meyney is a little gem of Médoc architecture, prized both for its location and the quality of its wines. The fifty or so hectares surrounding the château, located on a ridge of siliceous gravel and deep blue clay on the banks of the Gironde, give Cabernet Sauvignon the advantage. The wines have regained their former glory and have great aging potential. A must-try.

About wine:
The 2008 and 2007 vintages are successful in their own right: the former is more precise and structured, while the latter is elegant but not fluid.
About the estate:
This vintage is undoubtedly one of the best "unclassified" wines in the Médoc. It must be said that it benefits from a remarkable terroir, located on the banks of the Gironde, and is efficiently managed by the teams at CA Grands Crus (Crédit Agricole), now headed by Anne le Naour. A vineyard restructuring plan has been implemented and the latest vintages are comparable to the legendary 61, 86 and 89 vintages of this wine. Meyney develops slowly and is more of a long-distance runner, reaching its peak after a good ten years.
