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

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2011 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Dark color. Deep nose, dense, very rounded palate, good substance, noble tannins.
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.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
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 wine:
The 2008 and 2007 are, in their register, successful: more precise and well-built for the former, elegant but not fluid for the latter.
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.
