Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 20 Oct 22
Right next door to Montrose, this is another 2016 to look out for, and one that shows the brilliance of St Estèphe. Dark fruits abound, and the wine is full of natural power and exuberance, with fresh acidities. Still young, clearly a good 15 years ahead of it, but can be drunk now. Harvest September 23 to October 14, with an expanded team of 90 pickers in 2016 that allowed for more precision. Hubert de Boüard consultant.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 08 Dec 22
The 2016 Meyney is deep garnet in color. It needs a little coaxing to bring out the lovely blackberry pie, sassafras, and violets scents, followed by cassis and chocolate mint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is generous and plush, with just enough freshness and a fragrant finish.

Vinous Neal Martin - 16 Apr 26
The 2016 Meyney has a more extrovert, liquorice-scented bouquet that just feels a little garish after the '16 Montrose. Quite high-toned, with touches of inkwell and cassis. The palate is medium-bodied, with sappy black fruit. Structured and quite firm towards the finish, it does not quite have the harmony and fluidity of the best wines in this flight. Yeah, just a little disappointing after it dazzled six years ago, hence the question mark. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Jancis Robinson James Lawther - 22 Jun 23
49% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Petit Verdot. 46 hl/ha. Harvested 26 September to 21 October. Impressively dark crimson hue. Still relatively closed with just the notion of dark fruit. Palate firm, long and focused, the tannins plentiful but honed. Lots of persistence and drive on the finish. A serious and distinguished wine destined for the long haul. (JL)

Saint-Estèphe Fine Wine

Saint-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the northern Médoc, is known for robust, full-bodied red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These wines are deeply coloured, with firm tannins and rich flavours of dark fruits, earth, and spice, making them structured and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose, and Château Calon-Ségur. The region's gravelly and clay-rich soils contribute to the wines' distinctive character and complexity.
