Since the takeover by the Crédit Agricole group, the demand for quality, the refusal to give in to easy options and the awareness of the high value of the place have guided the steps of the estate. Under the aegis of Anne Le Naour, substantial investments have been made to allow this famous vintage to regain all its brilliance and once again play the leading roles on the Bordeaux scene. Efforts praised by specialist critics who, each year, award superlative marks to the wines of Château Meyney

Vineyard:
At the heart of the constellation of Crus Classés of Saint-Estèphe, halfway between the vineyards of Château Montrose (2nd Cru Classé) and Château Calon Ségur (3rd Cru Classé), Château Meyney remains for all "the forgotten one of the 1855 classification".
The terroir is remarkable: Château Meyney is located on a gravelly ridge naturally drained towards the estuary and ideally exposed. A steep slope gradually makes the vineyard climb to an altitude of 20 meters, which facilitates the natural drainage of the land. The gravel rests on a deep clay-limestone base, an essential reserve of moisture for the roots of the vine during periods of drought.

Tasting:
Château Meney has a delicious well-defined bouquet of blackberry, cedar and pencil box that is typical of your Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins up front, good weight in the mouth and that Pauillac-like graphite tinge on the finish. There is a touch of chewiness here, some rough edges that will need to be smoothed out by bottle age, but there remains good potential.

Note: Wine Advocate
When I tasted the 2014 Meyney in cask, I described it as a little gem. Now in bottle, is it still as brilliant? Well, it has a delicious, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, cedar and pencil box that is typical Saint Estèphe. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins up front, good weight in the mouth and that Pauillac-like graphite tinge on the finish. There is a touch of chewiness here, some rough edges that will need to be smoothed out by bottle age, but there remains good potential.
