Other vintages
Château Meyney was first planted with vines in 1662, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc. The hillside vineyards cover a contiguous 51 hectare block overlooking the Gironde River at an elevation of 20 meters. Proximity to the river provides the vines with excellent protection from frosts throughout the year. The soil consists of the traditional Garrone gravels, but Château Meyney also benefits from a three-meter deep vein of blue-clay in the subsoil (the same type of blue-clay found at Pétrus in Pomerol). This subsoil, combined with the slope of the vineyards towards the water, allows for great drainage and is a major reason why the wines of Meyney are so soft and lush. These are wines that easily rival, and surpass, many Classified Growths.
