Nobody should be surprised by the quality from this widely undervalued estate. Although Meyney was not part of the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, it happens to be an “unclassified growth” that drinks like one. This is partly thanks to dramatic improvements in recent years: cleaner élevage, sharper vineyard work, and clearer terroir expression.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 88
"The 2003 Meyney was one of a cluster of wines from the Northern Médoc that performed very well in this infamous growing season, even if it cannot hold a candle to the top Saint-Estèphes. It has a ripe damson and cedar nose with a little fig and raisin developing, fraying slightly at the seams yet still fresh. The palate has softened in recent years, and there is plenty of fruit in situ, but the 2003 turns quite brazen toward the finish, where the imprimatur of that hot summer is evident. Still, it has aged well, even if not up to the standard of recent vintages. Tasted from a bottle at home." -Neal Martin

"Deep, bright colour. Still incredibly youthful. Graphite, blackcurrant and menthol notes. Savoury edge as well. Lots of fruit still, the palate ripe but dry. Fairly punchy tannins so a bit of chew on the finish. Maintains freshness. Still going strong. Remarkable for the vintage."

Wine Spectator

"Gorgeous aromas of blackberry, currant and spices. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and layers of fruit. Goes on and on."

Wine Enthusiast

"Meyney is often the most gentle of the great estates of Saint-Estèphe, and in 2003 this character is most obvious. The wine is full of vitality and ripeness, soft tannins showing the property more than the hot year. The fruit dominates right through the wine, with dryness only appearing in the aftertaste." -Roger Voss
