FR Château Meyney Saint-Estèphe

Chateau Meyney in Saint Estephe has a long history starting in the 17th century. At that time, the Bordeaux wine estate belonged to the monks who planted the first vines at Meyney about 1660. Prior to the planting of the vines, the property was previously used as a convent.

VARIETALS: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot

ALC: 13.5%

VINTAGE: 2017

TASTING NOTES: you find a wine packed with sweet red fruits, spice, mint leaf, tobacco, flowers, and blackberries. Medium-bodied, with loads of ripe, red fruits and vibrancy on the palate, with just a touch of oak on the palate to round things out, this is already showing quite well. Drink from 2023-2035

AGING: To produce the wine of Chateau Meyney, vinification takes place in traditional, temperature-controlled, cement vats that vary in size. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vat. The wine is aged in an average of 50% new, French oak barrels for between 18 and 24 months, depending on the character and quality of the vintage.
