The Story Behind the Bottle
The world’s best known wine writer, Hugh Johnson, says of Château Meyney, “the vineyard is comparable with its Second Growth neighbour Château Montrose and First Growth Latour in its perfect site on the slopes leading straight down to the river”. But when Bordeaux wine estates were classified in 1855, an estate needed impeccable contacts as well as great vineyards, so it missed out on the highest ranking in Bordeaux. Today Château Meyney – one of the oldest in the Médoc – is a Cru Bourgeois estate and, as such, offers excellent value. The 2020 once again seriously overdelivers for the price. “Dark cherry, rose petal, blood orange, sage, mint and white pepper all race out of the glass. The 2020 is bold and yet refined” (Vinous.com).
