2024, Château Meyney, AOC SAINT-ESTÈPHE

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot.

This Saint Estèphe château makes wines that are true to the appellation with impressive depth and concentration. 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot

The 2024 Meyney is another big step in the right direction for this re-emerging Saint-Estèphe estate. In 2024, Meyney is refined yet still very deep, without the heaviness that was once typical here. It will be interesting to see in future years how much of that is the new style here and how much is the vintage. Either way, the 2024 Meyney is a standout. 2029 - 2044

A balanced red with red berries, warm spices and cedar on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Vivid and velvety with a bright finish.
93-94 James Suckling

Clean and crisp, a nice sleekness to this expression. It’s sleek for sure, but relaxed and balanced mixing blackcurrants and cherries with dark chocolate and liquorice. It’s fresh but not so austere. Balanced and well presented. I like this, soft chewy bits and sweet elements alongside the coolness. Great tannin management, this will be lovely.
