2023 Château Meyney, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 38% Merlot; 12% Petit Verdot.

With a beautifully aromatic nose of perfumed spices and concentrated blackcurrant, this is a classic expression of St Estephe with tons of vanilla, cassis and sweet cedar spice from 30% new oak. A generous peppering of Petit Verdot (12%) adds a savoury edge but the palate is pure dark berries. The tannins are balanced and softer than expected and there is a delightful freshness that dances on the palate before a fabulous finish of generous fruit.

Drink 2029 - 2040

About this wine

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
