Château Meyney occupies a single 51-hectare parcel of vines on a sloping rise next to Château Montrose, overlooking the Gironde estuary. Vines were planted at the site of Château Meyney in 1662, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc. Originally part of a convent, it has had only three owners since, the latest being CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole Group who purchased Meyney in 2004. Anne Le Naour came in as Technical Director, and valuable improvements were made in both the vineyard and the cellars.
94 points “The 2015 Meyney is an outstanding Saint Estèphe and here confirms its shock victory in the blind Southwold tasting. Intense dark cherries, blackberry and sage on the nose reveal just a hint of iron filings, all very cohesive and demonstrating well-integrated oak. The medium-bodied palate offers fine-grained tannins, good grip and plush red fruit laced with white pepper and sage, leading to a more structured finish than the impressive 2014. Superb.” Neal Martin, vinous.com
