Critic reviews
"The 2025 Meyney was picked from 9 to 20 September at 43 hl/ha and matured in French oak for a planned 18 months. It has a bright nose with blackberry and bilberry fruit, cedar and light cigar box scents in the background, all delivered with commendable delineation. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, but there is plenty of structure here, very well judged acidity, well-integrated oak with a judicious dash of pepperiness and a floral aspect to the finish. The 14% Petit Verdot just lends a little more malleability to the texture and it should be absolutely delicious once in bottle. If this is released at a good price en primeur, as it has been in the past, then this could represent an astute buy."

"The 2025 Meyney is packed with blue/purplish fruit, lavender, dried herbs, menthol and crushed flowers. Ample, broad and quite powerful, the 2025 builds beautifully with time in the glass. I can’t remember tasting a Meyney with this much sheer purity in its fruit. Impressive."

"Lovely deep colour, impressive grip and lift, austere at this early stage, needs time to open, but well structured, a ton of life ahead of it, lean cassis and bilberry fruits, liquorice root, 43hl/ha yield, 3.75ph."

"Deep dark fruit notes on the nose, blackcurrants and cherries with wild flowers – excellent clarity and focus of aromas. Supple and soft, velvety with a lovely bounce to the expression – there’s layers of fruit and a salty, cola and liquorice, wet stone grip but all balanced and harmonious. Still a little tight and focused as to be expected but there’s real finesse here. You can see the gentle extractions. Chewy, friendly, fun, but still with fragrant and softly spiced fruit. Lots going on. 3.75pH."

"(Saint-Estèphe; 66% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Merlot; 14% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 43 hl/ha; pH 3.75; 13% alcohol). I've often found this in the past to be a little stolid, quite long in the extraction and lacking in delineation and definition in and through the mid-palate as a consequence. But the last handful of vintages have really seen this resolved. The purity of, and resulting lift from, the damson, blueberry, bramble and black berry fruit is beautifully beguiling in this vintage as is the cedar in which that fruit seems so generously enrobed. Really lovely and very much flattered by the vintage (and how it's been managed)."
