Château Meyney

Château Meyney is an estate in Saint-Estèphe. Formed as an ecclesiastical vineyard in 1662, it is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, although its modern history began in 1917 when it was acquired by the Cordier family. The vineyard is in one large, single parcel, which is unusual for such a big vineyard. However, the large vineyard is divided into 63 separate plots. Chateau Meyney has a terroir of gravel and sand with a large streak of blue clay close to three meters thick, that resides underneath the gravel and sand, topsoil.

Smoke, espresso, spice box, black cherry, tobacco and blackberries create the perfume. Round, rich, lush, supple textured red fruits taste and feel great on the palate and in the finish. This is so good now and it is only going to get better from here as it should offer up to 2 decades of pleasure.
