Château Meyney shares the exact same geological secret as the legendary Pétrus—a 10-foot-thick layer of blue clay lying 8 feet below the surface. This is the same subsoil that makes Pétrus bottles sell for $3,000+. Yet Château Meyney remains one of Bordeaux's most undervalued treasures.

Hubert de Bouard—the mastermind behind Château Angélus's meteoric rise to Premier Grand Cru Classé A status—now directs winemaking at Château Meyney. Under his expert guidance since 2004, this estate is producing the finest wines in its 400-year history. When you have the same winemaker who transformed Angélus into a $500+ bottle phenomenon, you know something extraordinary is happening.

Location, location, location! Château Meyney sits directly between two of Bordeaux's most coveted estates: Château Montrose (Second Growth) selling for $150-200+ per bottle and Calon-Ségur (Third Growth) commanding $150+ per bottle. This isn't just proximity—it's shared terroir. The same Garonne gravels, the same protective Gironde estuary, the same perfect drainage on steep 20-meter slopes that make these neighboring estates so legendary.

The estate's 126 acres of single-block vineyard perfection showcase 35-40 year old vines at peak production, perched majestically on a knoll overlooking the Gironde. The monks who first planted these vines in the 17th century knew they had found something special, but even they couldn't have imagined the geological treasure lying beneath: that same blue clay subsoil that makes Pétrus the most coveted wine on earth.

While collectors chase allocation-only cult wines, Château Meyney offers the same world-class terroir and winemaking expertise at a fraction of the price. This is your chance to experience Premier Cru quality before the market catches up. In the exclusive world of Saint-Estèphe, where neighboring estates command astronomical prices, Château Meyney represents the opportunity of a lifetime—world-class Bordeaux that's still accessible to serious wine lovers.

2018 was an epic vintage for Bordeaux’ Left Bank. 2018 was blessed with 96 Points by Vinous Media, Robert Parker and Wine Spectator. The last one states that “the best reds are dense and tannic, with terrific drive and definition.”

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine is intensely aromatic with dark fruit and a gamey earthy quality. The palate is big without being overwhelming.

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. ~95 James Suckling

This estate, whose magnificent vineyards slope down to the Gironde estuary, is situated between two classed growth properties. This wine, rich and structured, powered by solid tannins as well as serious black fruits and youthful juicy acidity, is going to take its time to mature. Wait to drink until 2027. ~94 Wine Enthusiast, Cellar Selection

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. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040 ~94 Decanter

This could easily be kept for another five years before opening, but honestly you are going to get a ton of pleasure if you don’t wait and instead just ensure you have opened it up with a good three or four hours in a carafe. It’s a consistently good quality estate, with 51ha of vines just next to Château Montrose but unclassified and often one of the best value St Estèphes – particulary in 2018, where Estuary breezes were so helpful during the heat of September. Majors on fleshy, almost primary blackberry and raspberry fruits, powerful but restrained, with a ton of spice through the finish. Reactive winemaking choices also, as they ensured one week maceration of the grapes with their skins than usual to ensure the ripe fruits weren’t overplayed. Yield 49hl/h. Harvest 24 September to 11 October.~94 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

The 2018 Meyney is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Technical Director Anne Le Naour has done a terrific job in reining in some of the excess weight and power of previous vintages, but without sacrificing richness. Classy and layered, Meyney boasts fabulous depth and tons of character. Ripe red/purplish fruit, spice, blood orange, smoke, and incense are some of the many aromas and flavors that mesh together. The 2018 offers striking immediacy, but also has enough structure to develop well in bottle for 15-20 years, maybe more. The 2018 Meyney is a wine of immense pleasure. Best of all, it is a tremendous value. ~93 Antonio Galloni
