FEATURES
🏰 Château Meyney 2006, a robust Saint-Estèphe, offers a classic Left Bank Bordeaux experience with its structured profile and excellent aging potential from a good vintage. This wine displays a deep ruby-purple color, with an assertive nose of blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, and a touch of graphite. The palate is firm and structured, with chewy tannins that promise further integration with age, leading to a long, savory finish.
🍴 This powerful Bordeaux is an ideal partner for roasted red meats, grilled lamb chops, hearty beef stews, or mature hard cheeses. For an Asian pairing, consider a rich Cantonese braised beef short ribs or a flavorful lamb hot pot.
🥂 Perfect for a cozy winter evening, a gathering with friends, or as a cellar addition for future enjoyment.
BACKGROUND
Château Meyney is an estate in Saint-Estèphe best known for its wine of the same name. Formed as an ecclesiastical vineyard in 1662, it is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, although its modern history began in 1917 when it was acquired by the Cordier family.The vineyard is contained in a single 51-hectare (126-acre) site, which is unusual for a estate of this size. It is planted with around 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 percent Merlot and ten percent Petit Verdot, and the typical Meyney blend reflects these proportions. Depending on the vintage, the wine is aged for 16 to 24 months in French barriques, with 30 to 60 percent new oak. A second wine, Prieur de Meyney, is made from the younger vines on the estate.
