Cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour.
Close to Montrose, Château Meyney benefits from a first-class terroir on the edge of the Gironde: silica gravel on a vein of blue clay which gives the wine its exceptional dimension. The 51 hectares of vineyards are made up of 60% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 15% Petit-Verdot, a singular proportion in Saint-Estèphe which gives the wine freshness.
The first Meyney vines were planted in 1662 by the Feuillant Fathers. Since 2004 the estate has been owned by the Crédit Agricole Grands Crus. Today the Chateau is under the technical direction of Anne Le Naour, with the advice of oenologist Denis Dubourdieu, and it's currently experiencing an extraordinary renaissance. They are creating powerful wines, with dense and firm tannins, which offer an intense and persuasive fruit that evolves towards spice, leather, and musk with age.
The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon , 25% Merlot , and 15% Petit Verdot, from an average of 40 years old vines. It spends 17 months in French barrels.
Chateau Meney shows a shiny ruby color. The nose is powerful and opulent, becoming more delicate and balanced with aging. On the palate there are notes of blackberry and graphite with a slight smokiness that lingers on the palate. It shows an excellent aging potential. Try it with rabbit stew, veal head, or pork ribs.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
