Saint-Estèphe AOP Cru Bourgeois - Château Meyney

The Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois from Château Meyney in Bordeaux reveals a dense ruby color in the glass. If one holds the glass at a slight angle, a transition of color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. Swiveling the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, evident in distinct church windows at the rim of the glass. To the nose, this Château Meyney red wine presents all sorts of elderberry. As if that were not already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as white pepper and tobacco.

On the palate, Château Meyney's Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois opens pleasantly dry, grippy and aromatic. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an immensely powerful texture. The finale of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux, more precisely from Saint-Estèphe, finally captivates with exceptional reverberation.
