Château Meyney is a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur of Saint-Estèphe. It overlooks the Gironde, this proximity to the river protects it from frost. A fairly steep slope gradually brings the 51-hectare vineyard up to an altitude of 20m, facilitating the natural drainage of the land. You will find a wide choice of Saint-Estèphe wines at the best price, such as old vintages of Cos d’Estournel, Montrose, Calon-Ségur, Haut-Marbuzet, Lafon-Rochet, ou Phelan Segur.
The Château Meyney in Saint Estèphe has a long history that begins in the 17th century. At that time, the Bordeaux wine estate belonged to the monks who planted the first vines in Meyney. Before the vines were planted, the property was used as a convent.
However, the modern age of Château Meyney began in 1917, when it was bought by the Cordier family. The wines were produced at that time by the same team that looked after all the many Cordier estates.
In 2004, Château Meyney was bought by CA Grands Cruswhich owns several other Bordeaux properties, including Château Grand Puy Ducasse in Pauillac, Château Rayne Vigneau in Sauternes and other crus bourgeois. Thierry Budin is in charge of the different Bordeaux wine estates.
