Château MEYNEY
Red
- 2020
- Saint-estèphe
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.
Rated 92/100 by N. MARTIN « The 2020 Meyney has a very estuarine infused bouquet insofar that you could imagine looking out over the Gironde estuary on some overcast winter's day. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very well balanced with an elegant bead of acidity. Plenty of freshness and focus towards the finish, this is a splendid Meyney that continues it good run of form. » (December 2022)
- To keep or to drink :
- Wait 5 to 10 years
- Apogée :
- 2030-2044

The 2019 vintage is rated 91/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, pur et subtil. Caressant à l'attaque, très fruité en milieu de bouche et plutôt parfumé pour un Saint-Estèphe, le vin offre une trame tannique distinguée dans la persistance. » (March 2022)
Rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France « Le cru dispose d'un terroir fantastique, digne d'un cru classé. Ceci explique d'ailleurs qu'il jouisse d'une admirable réputation, méritée au regard des nombreux grands vins qui ont été produits ici. On peut encore trouver quelques vieux millésimes très en forme ( comme les admirables 1986 ou 1989). Le château n'élabore toutefois pas des vins pour les amateur pressés, à l'image des 2019 ou 2018 ; une décennie en cave est indispensable pour en profiter pleinement.» (December 2022)
