A spectacular vineyard that faces the Gironde estuary, this estate gives a rich wine that needs some serious aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refined and complex expression for the vintage with sweet red chili pepper, cassis, red plums, pencil shavings and a cedary edge. Medium to full body with silky, fine tannins and a lengthy, polished finish. An overachiever here that shows finesse and sophistication. Already a joy to drink now, but should age nicely in the next decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- James Suckling, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Meyney has a lovely bouquet with floral-tinged red berry fruit, opening nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh red berry fruit laced with oyster shell and spice. Fine build towards a menthol-tinged finish, winemaker Anne La Nour has conjured a very commendable Saint-Estèphe from a tricky growing season. If release prices match your wallet, I'd stick a case (or two) in the cellar. –Neal Martin\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 91-93\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Vinous, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGorgeous floral aromatics, this is crisp with the most delicious blackcurrant and black cherry and strawberry fruit flavour - really so well executed. Lively and bright, clean and clear. Succulent and juicy, lovely frame and texture overall. A wonderful easy to drink wine, with elegance refinement but still that concentration that drives the flavours from start to finish. A top buy for classic clart, refreshing, minty, deep, layered and so charming.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 92\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Decanter, 92 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"AHD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48078308475067,"sku":null,"price":33.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/files\/vkejxm2erkrvbd04jwru.jpg?v=1783528818","url":"https:\/\/www.woodswholesalewine.com\/products\/2021-chateau-meyney-saint-estephe-france-750ml","provider":"Woods Wholesale Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
