Château Meyney 2019

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with tobacco, loamy soil and petals introduce the 2019 Meyney, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively wine with fine depth at the core, powdery tannins and an attractive sense of completeness. This is an understated but charming Saint-Estèphe that has turned out nicely in bottle.

James Suckling

Notes of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, vanilla, licorice and dark chocolate with touches of earthiness and nutmeg-like spice. Medium-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and delicious fruit. Polished and refined. Try after 2023.

The nose is aromatic, elegant, racy and offers intensity, finesse of the grain as well as a small complexity. It reveals notes of pulpy/fleshy cassis, ripe Boysen berry, small notes of ripe strawberry associated with fine touches of cherry/griotte, small juicy/pulpy red berries, violet as well as hints of iris, timut pepper, a racy minerality, fine hints of cardamom, incense and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, aerial and offers a mineral frame, a good definition, juiciness as well as gourmandize, suavity, intensity, a beautiful finesse of the grain, roundness and precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, Boysen berry, small notes of wild strawberry associated with touches of raspberry, racy minerality as well as a very discreet hint of cardamom, tea, sweet spices, an acidulous plum, vanilla, chocolate, crushed almond and toasted. Good length. Tannins are elegant, well-built and structuring. A beautiful persistence.
