Château
Meyney
Château Meyney was one of the first sites in the Médoc to be planted with vines. In 1662, it was a convent mentioned in records under the names Couvent des Feuillants or Prieuré des Couleys. It belonged to the Feuillants monks. Today, the estate stretches over some of the best hilltops above the Gironde Estuary. The river lying alongside the first rows of vines makes for a majestic, serene landscape. The estate belonged to the Luetkens family for several generations, and was then acquired by Mr Désiré Cordier in 1919.
In 2004, CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Groupe Crédit Agricole, acquired Château Meyney, with a determination to strengthen the potential of this outstanding cru.
Meyney benefits from an exceptional site, a unique terroir, a rich and long history dating back to the 16th century, making it an outstanding Medoc estate.
1ere gorgée, après un nez laissant encore quelques arômes de fruits rouges, cassis, légèrement teintés de cuir, est assez surprenante: après 42 ans, il garde encore une très légère fraîcheur, plus d'alcool, plus de tanins (partis dans la décantation) et une rondeur douce, une longueur en bouche sur cette rondeur et des saveurs de pruneaux.
Quelle santé le St Estephe! ????????
