In the heart of the constellation of Saint-Estèphe's Classified Growths, midway between the vineyards of Château Montrose (2nd Growth) and Château Calon Ségur (3rd Growth), Château Meyney remains, for many, "the forgotten one of the 1855 classification." The terroir is remarkable: Château Meyney is situated on a gravelly ridge naturally drained towards the estuary and ideally situated. A steep slope gradually raises the vineyard to an altitude of 20 meters, facilitating natural drainage. The vines rest on a deep clay-limestone base, an essential moisture reserve for the vine roots during periods of drought. Region: Bordeaux

The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the attack, good weight on the palate, and a graphite note reminiscent of Pauillac on the finish. There's a touch of chewiness here, a few rough edges that will need to be smoothed out by bottle aging, but it still has good potential. Serving Temperature: 17-18°C |
