This 2020 is a wonderful vintage from this St-Estèphe property in Médoc, Bordeaux, France. Chateau Meyney has become the go-to estate for quality that punches well above its price point.
There is lovely balance to this claret with deep, dark fruit, ripe and generous, but a more nuanced graphite, smoky, cedar edge keeping it complex and appetising. Cutting through the youthful, powerful but velvety tannins there is a refreshing quality. Decanter described the 2020 as “nuanced, savoury and satisfying”.
Drink now or long ageing.
