2008 Meyney Bordeaux Blend
Reviews of 2008 Meyney Bordeaux Blend
89-91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
April 2009
The finest Meyney since the fabulous efforts produced in the late seventies and early eighties, it is good to see this estate, which has a top-flight vineyard, get back in shape. The dense purple-colored 2008 offers up notes of crushed rocks, blue fruits, flowers, earth, and spice. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, good acids, and a layered mouthfeel, it should drink well for 15-20 years.
About 2008 Meyney Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Meyney
"Château Meyney is located in St.Estèphe and is owned by Dmes. Cordier. The 49 ha property produces on average 30,000 cases per year. Located in the east of the St.Estèphe appellation, next to Château Montrose, Meney has a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds...Meyney's vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 70%; Merlot 24%; Cabernet Franc 4%; Petit Verdot 2%) lie on clay-gravel soils. Vinification includes 15 months' wood ageing, 30% new oak...Meyney is classified as a Cru Bourgeois."
