Chateau Meyney 2018

Chateau Meyney 2018 is a concentrated Saint-Estephe red with layered black fruit, blueberry, cassis, spice and dark chocolate character. Full-bodied and structured, it combines firm, fine-grained tannins with notable freshness and depth, delivering a focused expression shaped by the estate's gravel and clay terroir.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with braised beef cheeks, grilled lamb chops, venison, or mushroom bordelaise.

95 Points - James Suckling

Blueberry, blackcurrant, clove, dark chocolate, praline and gravel on the nose. It's full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Focused, chewy and layered. Fantastic effort here. Try from 2025.

94 Points - Decanter

It's clear that this is hugely concentrated, as is the Montrose right next door, but there's also beautiful juice and freshness underneath the black fruits and the powerful grip. Tannins, acidity and fruit: it's all there. This is great quality and should be long-lived, with a rich palate, evenly balanced and austere in all the right places. Another good vintage at this increasingly impressive property.

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Meyney gives up blackcurrants, black berries and plums on the nose with earth and spices plus fried herbs and lots of oak. The big, full-bodied palate has some promising fruit but is a bit hard and oaky.
