Bordeaux, France
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, France2010 is a good year for the struggling-for-attention Chateau Meyney; the wine produced is a kind of 'return to form' for the producer, showing that finesse and full-bodied can go hand-in-hand. The sizeable estate of some 49 hectares is located next to Chateau Montrose, so the neighbourhood is sound. Winemaking has taken a step up and new barrels are kept to alow 30% for maturation, resulting ain a game-meat rich wine of full flavour, ripe fruit and luscious demeanour.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

It is good to see this well-situated estate in St.-Estephe get back on track. The 2010 has loads of beef blood, charcuterie and smoked game along with black currant fruit. Some underlying graphite notes are also present in this full-bodied, meaty, fleshy wine, which has outstanding concentration and the potential to last for 15 or more years. It is a major sleeper of the vintage.
