Château MEYNEY
Red

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “A dense wine, still a little under the influence of its wood, but with potential. Prieur, much more supple, can be drunk now."

The 2020 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 95/100 “The wine is solidly constituted but also very racy, and finds its balance. It has plenty of substance and superb tannin definition, which harmonize on the finish.”

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 92/100 “Meyney 2020 has a very estuarine bouquet, as one might imagine it contemplating the Gironde estuary on an overcast winter's day. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very well balanced with elegant acidity. With plenty of freshness and concentration on the finish, this is a splendid Meyney that continues its momentum.”

J-M Quarin (June 2023): 92/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. Very aromatic, fruity, creamy and slightly truffled nose. Meticulous on entry, refined to the touch, very aromatic, the wine develops on a graceful general bearing. It melts in the finish, fragrant, long, sappy and very good”.

The 2019 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 95/100 “The cru has a fantastic terroir, worthy of a classified growth. This explains why it enjoys an admirable reputation, well-deserved in view of the many great wines that have been produced here. Some very fine old vintages can still be found (such as the admirable 1986 or 1989). However, the château doesn't make wines for wine-lovers in a hurry, like the 2019s or 2018s; a decade in the cellar is essential to fully enjoy them.”

J-M Quarin (March 2022): 91/100 “Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, pure and subtle. Caressing on the attack, very fruity in the mid-palate and rather perfumed for a Saint-Estèphe, the wine offers a distinguished tannic framework with persistence.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (december 2022): 94/100 “This wine has a fantastic terroir, worthy of a classified growth. This explains why it enjoys an admirable reputation, well-deserved in view of the many great wines that have been produced here. Some very fine old vintages can still be found (such as the admirable 1986 or 1989).
