Château Meyney sits in Saint-Estèphe between Château Montrose and Château Calon Ségur and is known as "the one forgotten by the 1855 classification." That's good news if you want serious Saint-Estèphe without paying classified-growth prices. The estate is a single 51-hectare block on a gravel rise that slopes down toward the Gironde estuary. Under the gravel is a deep clay-limestone base that holds water for the vines in dry years. There is also a 3-metre vein of blue clay, which is rare in the Médoc. The estate credits it with Meyney's velvety texture and says Merlot grows as well there as on Pomerol's greatest sites. Vines grew here before 1625, on land first brought to light by the Feuillant monks, whose convent once stood on the property. Today winemaker Anne Le Naour farms the vineyard sustainably, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot vines averaging 38 years old. Anyone who suspects the 1855 list isn't the last word on the Médoc will find good evidence here.

More about Chateau Meyney

Nobody should be surprised by the quality from this widely undervalued estate. Although Meyney was not part of the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, it happens to be an “unclassified growth” that drinks like one. This is partly thanks to dramatic improvements in recent years: cleaner élevage, sharper vineyard work, and clearer terroir expression.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Rosemary-crusted rack of lamb, grilled ribeye with bordelaise sauce, duck confit with roasted potatoes, aged Comté or Mimolette

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Saint-Estèphe profile: blackcurrant, black cherry and cedar, with graphite and a savoury, earthy edge. Cabernet Sauvignon gives it a firm frame of fine tannin and fresh acidity, and Merlot fills out the middle, pulling the texture toward velvety. It's dry and full-bodied with a long finish, a serious Left Bank red built to age.
