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.

Our wines

Meyney

The Château Meyney vineyard is planted on perfectly drained siliceous gravel terroir, ideal conditions for the maturity of the grapes. The blend is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and supplemented by 10% to 20% Petit Verdot depending on the vintage, from mass selection vines. These very old vines planted in the 1950s give the wine a very deep black color, spicy notes and a racy style. The castle teams watch over this rare and historic genetic heritage of the property.

The combination of these three grape varieties offers the perfect balance between power and elegance.

Prieur de Meyney

Prieur de Meyney is the second wine of Château Meyney, known in the 17th century under the name of Prieuré des Couleys. Prieur de Meyney is produced with the same rigor as the Grand Vin on plots producing more supple wines. To preserve its freshness and fruit, it is aged in barrels for a few weeks less than its predecessor in French oak barrels, 10 to 15% of which are renewed annually. The 2nd wine of Château Meyney offers an intense, complex nose of ripe fruit and a beautiful structure allowing it to fully blossom for around fifteen years. Unlike the Grand Vin, its blend leaves only a tiny part to the Petit Verdot.

On a few rare historic markets this second wine can also bear the name “Chapelle de Meyney”.

Dégustation d'un magnum de 1981

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! ????????
