Château Meyney 2016 from Saint-Estèphe is a sublime Bordeaux with exceptional ageing potential. This wine, in the generous Jeroboam format, embodies the depth and power of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The 2016 vintage is known for ideal growing conditions in Bordeaux, resulting in a wine with intensely concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, plum and subtle herbs, complemented by earthy and mineral notes typical of the Saint-Estèphe terroir. The tannins are firm and well integrated, giving a long and balanced finish. In the glass the wine shows a deep ruby colour, and with time it reveals complex layers of dark chocolate, cedar and tobacco. The palate is powerful and structured, and the wine will continue to develop beautifully over the years. This Jeroboam is an excellent choice for collectors and lovers of great Bordeaux wines.
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, rich stews and hard cheeses.
