Descrição:
O Château Meyney é uma das propriedades mais antigas do Médoc, localizado na denominação de Saint-Estèphe, na margem esquerda de Bordeaux. Em solos de cascalho silicioso, as vinhas têm entre 35 e 40 anos em média e são protegida das geadas pelo rio.

A safra de 2018 foi desafiadora, no entanto, anuncia o nascimento de um grande ano para o Château Meyney. Depois de um início de ano de grandes excedentes hídricos, o verão muito bonito e com sol radiante até à data da colheita permitiu-nos obter o melhor. Os vinhos de base do Château Meyney são muito regulares e oferecem uma relação preço/prazer difícil de igualar para os vinhos Médoc. O mesmo vale para as safras antigas da Maison Cordier, como Talbot ou Gruaud Larose. Se você quer descobrir o mundo dos grandes Bordeaux sem gastar muito, este cuvée é perfeito.

Wine Enthusiast - Roger Voss:
This estate, whose magnificent vineyards slope down to the Gironde estuary, is situated between two classed growth properties. This wine, rich and structured, powered by solid tannins as well as serious black fruits and youthful juicy acidity, is going to take its time to mature. Wait to drink until 2027.

VertdeVin:
The nose is elegant, racy, almost discreetly tight and offers a beautiful power (full of finesse), a fine concentration as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of ripe wild blackberry, cassis and small notes of wild strawberry associated with a touch of pulpy cherry, cornflower as well as hints of toasted, vanilla and fine hints of almond. The palate is fruity, fresh, racy and offers creaminess, gourmandize, a fine unctuosity, juiciness as well as a small richness, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a small density and a small deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, small red berriesand small notes of fresh/fleshy cherry associated with touches of blackberry, cornflower, lilac as well as hints of chocolate, toasted, a subtle hint of crushed almond and a very discreet hint of hazelnut. Good length. A discreet salinity on the finish/persistence.
