Tasting notes

Neal Martin, vinous.com, July 2020 92

The 2017 Meyney is building upon its promising showing after bottling. It has a polished, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and damp clay/potter's wheel, perhaps demonstrating even more precision than a few months ago. The palate displays very fine tannins and good grip on the clove-tinged finish. A judiciously spiced and impressively proportioned Saint-Estèphe; a decade ago, under the same growing growing conditions, Meyney would not have produced a wine nearly as good as this 2017. Tasted at a vertical at Château Meyney. 2024 - 2040

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, April 2018 92/93

This is very nicely done with a lithe yet structured core of dark fruit and round, juicy tannins. Medium to full body, a driven line of acidity and a long finish.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, December 2022 92

The 2017 Meyney is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It jumps with ready-to-go notes of crushed black and red currants, mulberries and fragrant soil, plus wafts of dried sage and charcoal. Medium-bodied, the palate is bright and energetic with a great core of vibrant fruit and a soft textured finish.

Jane Anson, Decanter.com, April 2018 92

This is more proof of the consistency of Meyney. It has clear oak finessing, well held together with a cinnamon dusting and white pepper spicing, giving a gourmet edge with its own character. This feels finessed, contemporary and accomplished; a pretty complete package. This perhaps doesn't quite have the generosity of 2016, as the tannins are a little more tightly-drawn, but this is still good. Retasted several times and it stands out for its quality. Harvested 15 September to 5 October. Hubert de Boüard is consultant, with Anne Le Naour technical director.Drinking Window 2024 - 2036

Deep cherry red with purple rim. A hint of savoury oak on the nose but plenty of black fruit to hold sway. An inviting and subtle dusty overlay. Pretty oaky on the palate – unusual in this vintage – but the char is quite definite. Just fresh enough but I hope it takes on more flesh before bottling. Tough and charry on the finish. Drink 2025-2030

Derek Smedley MW, DerekSmedleyMW.co.uk, April 2018 84/87

The nose has black fruits the palate a mix of black cherry and blackcurrant. The tannins are firm giving mid structure. It fills out a bit at the back slightly more concentrated flavours but the finish is tight and dry. 2025-34

Medium to deep garnet-purple, the 2017 meyney opens a little broody, giving way to red cherries, black berries and stewed tea scents with a waft of dried herbs. medium-bodied, the palate is chock-full of vibrant black fruits with ripe, grainy tannins and a refreshing kick to the finish. Drink: 2020-2031

Neal Martin, vinous.com, February 2020 91

The 2017 Meyney has a well defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and wild mint aroma, primal but very focused and with great potential. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, spicy and vibrant with white and black pepper mixed with clove on the finish. Give this four to five years in bottle and you should have a very fine Saint-Estèphe on your hands. Drink 2024-2040.

Neal Martin, vinous.com, May 2018 90/92

The 2017 Meyney has a clean and fresh bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit mingling with cedar and light cigar humidor aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannin and a fine bead of acidity. I find this surprisingly juicy in style that probably belies the structure underneath. This will be one of the more approachable Saint-Estèphe wines in this vintage, but one that I find well made. 2020 - 2035

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (236), April 2018 86/88

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Meyney features baked cherries, mulberries and plum preserves on the nose with hints of smoked meats and black olives. The palate is medium-bodied, firm, grainy and a little tart with good fruit expression and length.
