CH Meyney 2021 St Estephe

This Saint Estphe chteau makes wines that are true to the appellation with impressive depth and concentration. Usually modestly priced en primeur. The 51 hectare vineyard is planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Recent vintages have impressed us here. This chteau always performs well in blind tastings – often being mistaken for Montrose

A pretty wine with currant, cherry and some spices, such as nutmeg. Subtle this year. Medium body.

91/92 points
