ChâteauMeyney,Saint-Estèphe2023EnPrimeur–Caseof6

With very similar aspects and position to neighbouring Montrose we have often enjoyed Meyney, even back in the Cordier days (which could be slightly hit-or-miss). Since being taken over in 2004 by CA Bank the quality is more consistent, the fruit more stylish. This year sees a dark colour, possibly from 12% Petit Verdot, and a big juicy palate. Blackberry jam comes through and there?s a seamless, pure fruit finish. Meyney is an easy wine to like this year, for mid-term drinking.
