Château Meyney

The winery is located in the commune of Saint-Estèphe in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). It was last classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 2003 in the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid. The origin of the buildings on a hill overlooking the Gironde estuary goes back to the "Prieuré des Couleys" monastery built in 1662. This name was also used on the label until the end of the 1990s. The estate was secularised during the French Revolution (1789 to 1799). In 1917, it was acquired by Désiré Cordier (+1940) and remained in the possession of the wine trading house until 2004. In that year, it was sold to Banque Crédit-Agricole. The vineyards cover 51 hectares of contiguous vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (9%) and Petit Verdot (9%). The long-lasting red wine matures for 14 months in 70 to 90% new barriques. The second wine is called "Prieur de Meyney".

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
