Appellation d'origine contrôlée and exceptional Cru Bourgeois of Saint-Estèphe
Property of CA Grands crus (subsidiary of Crédit Agricole) since 2004, Château Meyney is a cru bourgeois supérieur of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, located in the Bordeaux region, on the left bank of the Gironde. Château Meyney spans 51 hectares of contiguous vines, with an average age of 35 years and a density of 9,000 vines per hectare. The soil consists of deep gravel over a subsoil of blue clay, and the château's grape variety composition includes Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (30%), and Petit Verdot (10%).
2 red wine cuvées are produced by Château Meyney: the Fine Wine de Meyney, and also a second wine named "Prieur du Château Meyney". Château Meyney is a classic AOC St Estèphe wine of very high quality, and the estate produced some very fine wines during the 1960s to 1980s that could regularly rival certain classified growths of St Estèphe. Since 2014, the Château has retained the services of oenologist Hubert de Bouard. Meyney ranks among the finest wines of the St Estèphe appellation, with a very good 2015 vintage that clearly demonstrates the estate's ambitions. The estate's bottles have an aging potential of 8 to 25 years for the finest vintages, which are 2015, 2014, 2010, 2009, 2005, 1990, 1989, 1986, 1982. It is indeed advisable to wait around ten years before appreciating the wine at its best (it can sometimes seem a little rustic and tannic in its early years). The second wine, on the other hand, can be enjoyed more quickly. Produced mainly from the estate's younger vines, its cellaring time is estimated at between 4 and 8 years. Meyney currently represents a reliable choice for lovers of fine wine who seek the quality of the bottle rather than the prestige of the label, and at an affordable price.
