Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe, 2015

One of the Médoc's oldest properties delivers a standout Saint-Estèphe that captivated blind tasters with its purity and elegance. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot from 35-40 year-old vines, it opens with intense dark cherry, raspberry, and sage layered with iron minerality. The medium-bodied palate is built on fine-grained tannins and white pepper spice, with a sinewy structure and impressive grip. Meyney offers remarkable price-pleasure value for Médoc wines—drink now for immediate pleasure or cellar for 20+ years.
