Château MEYNEY
Red

On a magnificent gravelly hillock that has nothing to envy that of its neighbour Montrose, Meyney (Crédit Agricole property) is a serious candidate for the title of best Médoc bourgeois cru in each vintage. Long, complex, refined, distinguished tannins: a great Médoc cut for long ageing. Recommended by Mr. De Boüard (Angelus) from the 2014 vintage.

Terre de Vins : 96-98/100 Coup de ♥ “A true distillation of the 2025 vintage, displaying fine maturity, from its terroir where the vines draw their nourishment from a vein of blue clay, a rarity in the Médoc. Its deep colour releases aromas of wild strawberries, sweet spices and aniseed mint. Equally enticing, the palate blends flavours of red fruit gratin with velvety tannins that leave a fresh hint of peppermint, perhaps a signature of the Petit Verdot, which accounts for over 10% of the blend at Château Meyney ...”

La Revue du Vin de France : 94-96/100 “The vintage has produced a real long-distance runner in 2025; a concentrated and powerful wine, yet endowed with the balance and freshness that are the hallmark of its terroir. A distinguished wine, finishing with beautifully firm tannins and a welcome hint of savoury flavour.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 94-95/100 “Robust yet elegant, consistently impressive and remarkable for its depth and natural vigour. A safe bet and excellent value for money.”

J-M Quarin : 94/100 “Deep black colour. An intense, fruity, fresh, ripe, vanilla-scented and spicy nose. Full-bodied on the attack, smooth and full-flavoured on the palate, the wine develops into a rich and powerful finish with fine tannins. A beautifully long, lively and fragrant finish.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 93-95/100 "The 2025 Meyney has a bright nose with blackberry and bilberry fruit, cedar and light cigar box scents in the background, all delivered with commendable delineation. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, but there is plenty of structure here, very well judged acidity, well-integrated oak with a judicious dash of pepperiness and a floral aspect to the finish. The 14% Petit Verdot just lends a little more malleability to the texture and it should be absolutely delicious once in bottle. If this is released at a good price en primeur, as it has been in the past, then this could represent an astute buy."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Meyney is packed with blue/purplish fruit, lavender, dried herbs, menthol and crushed flowers. Ample, broad and quite powerful, the 2025 builds beautifully with time in the glass. I can’t remember tasting a Meyney with this much sheer purity in its fruit. Impressive."
