The Story
Meyney is one of Saint-Estèphe's longest-standing overachievers, an historic estate founded as a monastery vineyard in 1662 and sitting on a stunning riverside plateau next to Château Montrose. Now classified Cru Bourgeois Supérieur (following the 2020 reclassification), it produces wines of structure and depth at a level that punches well above its station. The 2015 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend (52%) with Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot, from a vintage that gave Saint-Estèphe ripe fruit balanced by classical Médoc grip. A decade in, it's just hitting stride.
