Château Meyney - Saint-Estèphe - Red - 2017 :

 

Château Meyney: St-Estèphe's Unclassified Gem

Château Meyney stands as one of St-Estèphe’s most highly regarded Cru Bourgeois, nestled alongside the river and its prestigious neighbors. Its exceptional terroir, notably a layer of blue clay, ensures the wine possesses the classic tannic structure of the appellation but with a beautiful, approachable richness after time in the cellar.

Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• **Colour:** A profound, deep ruby-purple, tight to the rim.
• **Nose:** Rich and layered, presenting concentrated dark fruits (cassis, mulberry), complemented by elegant hints of pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, and forest floor.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied and concentrated. The palate is defined by its powerful structure and chewy, ripe tannins. It maintains a superb freshness and balance, leading to a long, distinguished finish.

Serving Suggestion & Food Match

We recommend decanting younger vintages for up to two hours. This is a wine that performs best when served with rich, savory dishes. Serve at 17°C.

• **Ideal Pairings:** Traditional Roast Lamb (particularly with rosemary and garlic), Beef Wellington, Game Pie, Mature Cheddar or Stilton.
• **Ageing Potential:** Excellent, designed for long-term cellaring, often peaking between 10 and 25 years.
