Chateau Meyney

Chateau Meyney

As one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, Château Meyney has existed since the 17th century! In 1662, it was a Convent mentioned in records under the names Couvent des Feuillants or Prieuré des Couleys. Today, the estate stretches over some of the best hilltops above the Gironde Estuary. The river lying alongside the first rows of vines makes for a majestic, serene landscape. Superbly located, the château lies at the center of a single block vineyard of 51 hectares (126 acres) of premium vines. The presence of the estuary does more than just provide a fantastic view, it also protects the estate from frosts too! The vineyard is planted on Garonne gravels divided between 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, with the vines’ age average between 35 to 40 years old. The vines climb to an altitude of 20 metres up, quite a steep slope, ensuring good natural drainage of the soil. It’s these remarkable natural factors that give the wine an exceptional richness. In 2004, CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Groupe Crédit Agricole, acquired Château Meyney, with a determination to strengthen the potential of this outstanding cru. An improvement plan was put together for the entire estate and is supervised today by Anne Le Naour, the Technical Director, and the consultant oenologist, Hubert de Bouärd.
