Note di degustazione
Always a classic Saint-Estèphe (and I think the quality here has stepped up a notch recently), the 2023 Château Meyney comes from a mix of gravelly and clay soils and is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 12% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. It sports a deep purple hue as well as beautiful cassis, graphite, smoky tobacco, and crushed stone-like minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, focused, layered mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and is going to evolve nicely over the coming 25-30 years if well stored. Drink 2029-2053.

The 2023 Meyney is every bit as convincing as it was en primeur . Dark and quite savory, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Gravel, incense, tobacco, licorice, dried herbs, chocolate and pressed lavender infuse this mid-weight Saint-Estèphe with a good deal of character. Beams of tannin shape the insistent, driving finish.
The 2023 Meyney has an open, expressive nose with more red fruit than its appellation peers, raspberry and wild strawberry mixed with loam, later hints of blackberry. The palate is medium-bodied, with grainy tannins on the entry. Fine density, showing more grip than in barrel, with an earthy and quite sustained finish. There is promise here.
The touch of Petit Verdot in the main estate wine makes itself felt, with its fragrant spice and deep colour. This has a ton of grip, with baking spice and liquorice, full of character, rose petals and crushed rocks, blackberry fruits. One to look out for, great stuff and great value. 55hl/ yield.
