Chateau Meyney

Built on a rise that lies close to the Gironde estuary, the château lies at the centre of a vineyard covering 123 acres. In the  17th century the property belonged to monks who were the first to plant vines at Meyney. Here the soil is composed of layers of stones and gravel that drain extremely well, providing perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, associated with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This combination produces a full-bodied wine that has both flesh and bones, and which develops with time the unique charm of the best from Saint-Estephe.

Since the acquisition of Château Meyney in 2004 by CA Grands Crus, an improvement plan has been put in place for the entire estate. This is supervised by Bernard Monteau, the technical director, and abetted by advice from the consultant oenologist, Denis Dubourdieu.
