2025 Château Meyney
Château Meyney overlooks the Gironde estuary alongside Château Montrose. Benefiting from a cooling maritime influence, the estate's old vines are deeply rooted in gravelly soils underlain by a rich vein of blue clay, (similar to that at Petrus on the Pomerol plateau) which helps retain moisture during the dry summer months and contributes to the wine's richness and power.
The 2025 displays dark, ripe fruit, an appealing core of sweetness and concentration, balanced by the firm structure and freshness that are hallmarks of Saint-Estèphe. This is a wine that should reward at least five years of cellaring. At under £20 per bottle in bond, it looks particularly compelling value and, as Neal Martin noted, "...this could represent an astute buy. 93-95 points."
Offered en primeur. Landing spring 2028.
Magnums available with £25 ex-VAT bottling surcharge, please enquire for other formats.

Tasting Notes"Lovely deep colour, impressive grip and lift, austere at this early stage, needs time to open, but well structured, a ton of life ahead of it, lean cassis and bilberry fruits, liquorice root, 43hl/ha yield, 3.75ph. 2030-2042. 93 points" janeanson.com------"The 2025 Meyney is packed with blue/purplish fruit, lavender, dried herbs, menthol and crushed flowers. Ample, broad and quite powerful, the 2025 builds beautifully with time in the glass. I can’t remember tasting a Meyney with this much sheer purity in its fruit. Impressive.2030 - 2043. 92-94 points" Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com------"A serious, concentrated Saint-Estèphe, the 2025 Château Meyney reveals darker berries, graphite, chocolate, and hints of tobacco on the nose. It's rich and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a nicely concentrated, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's clearly an outstanding wine. 92-94+ points" Jebdunnuck.com------"The 2025 Meyney was picked from 9 to 20 September at 43 hl/ha and matured in French oak for a planned 18 months. It has a bright nose with blackberry and bilberry fruit, cedar and light cigar box scents in the background, all delivered with commendable delineation. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, but there is plenty of structure here, very well judged acidity, well-integrated oak with a judicious dash of pepperiness and a floral aspect to the finish. The 14% Petit Verdot just lends a little more malleability to the texture and it should be absolutely delicious once in bottle. If this is released at a good price en primeur, as it has been in the past, then this could represent an astute buy. Drink 2031-2050. 93-95 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"A fresh and savory red with ripe currant and raspberry aromas. Medium-bodied with velvety, creamy tannins and a fruity finish. Caressing and pretty. 94-95 points" jamessuckling.com |
