The 2011 Meyney is a little gem of a wine. Still vibrant/ruby colored with a youthful bouquet of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, cedar, and earth, it’s medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, and has beautifully ripe tannin. This classic, satisfying Saint-Estèphe can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade or more.

77% cabernet sauvignon 10% merlot 10% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc. 12.7% alcohol. Planted on 51-hectares of sand clay and limestone with an average vine age of 35 to 40 years. Aged for 14-16 months in 40% new barrels. Nearly opaque purple core with a fuchsia rim. Bouquet of perfumed cherry blossom and cassis eclipsed by limestone minerality. Primary black plum black cherry and blackberry flavors on the palate. Sharp tannins on the finish. Denis Dubourdieu consults. Enjoy from 2016 to 2023.
