The winemaker
Château Meyney is a Saint-Estèphe cru, one of the oldest wine estates in the Médoc. Neighboring the prestigious Domaine de Montrose, its vineyards extend over 51 hectares of singular terroirs offering highly favorable conditions for growing vines. It produces top-quality cuvées, whose excellence has led to the estate's classification as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. Meyney wines are full-bodied and complex, with great ageing potential. They perfectly express the beauty of this exceptional terroir.
The first vines were planted in 1662, when the building was a convent owned by the Pères Feuillants. It was they who initiated the first plantings. This singular terroir was not chosen at random. It extends over siliceous gravelly hilltops above the Gironde. Its location protects the vines from frost, and the slope favors natural drainage of the plots.
Over the centuries, the estate changed ownership several times. The Luetkens family ran it in the 18th and 19th centuries, before selling it to Désiré Cordier in 1919. In 2004, it was acquired by one of Crédit Agricole's subsidiaries, the CA Grands Crus group, which also owns several prestigious wine estates classified as Grands Crus, including Château de Rayne Vigneau, Château Grand-Puy Ducasse and Château Blaignan. Anne Le Naour is entrusted with the management of the winery, under the guidance of Hubert de Boüard. Château Meyney's vines are around forty years old on average, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot.
Sorting is done by hand directly in the vines at harvest time, then again when the bunches arrive at the vat room. Each parcel is vinified separately in temperature-controlled concrete or stainless steel vats, according to its specific needs. Aging lasts from one and a half to two years in oak barrels.
Le Château Meyney is the estate's Grand Vin, made with a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It is a powerful, complex and highly aromatic wine. The nose is very fruity, evolving towards notes of spice and leather with a few years in the cellar. The palate is racy, with firm tannins and a long finish. Perfect with roasted meats, charcuterie or hard cheeses. The cuvée has received excellent marks from experts: the Vin de France review awarded it a 16.5/20, Decanter and Vinous a 92/100 and Jean Marc Quarin a 91/100.
Le Prieur de Meyney is the second wine of Château Meyney, created in 1979 and made with grapes from younger vines than the first wine, but using equally rigorous methods. It's a fresh wine with a frank, fruity, gourmand nose. It offers black and red fruit aromas, a smooth body and a tangy finish evolving towards peppery notes.
