Critic reviews
"Opening in the glass with aromas of sweet dark berries, licorice and petals, the 2022 Meyney is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit girdled by sweet but firm tannins. Pure and taut, it is a strong effort that will require a bit of patience."
William Kelley, April 2023, RobertParker.com
"The 2022 Meyney was picked from 14 September to 5 October at 37hL/ha. This has a really lovely nose with layers of red fruit interlaced with loamy, pencil lead aromas, focused and very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured opening. A "solid" Saint-Estèphe, quite taut and linear. One sample lacked a bit of vigor on the finish, so called for another, which displays far more precision and energy. This is what my assessment is based upon."

"The 2022 Meyney is very exotic in this vintage. Super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, orange peel, mint, sweet spice and rose petal give the 2022 striking inner perfume. I can't remember tasting a Meyney quite like this."
Antonio Galloni, April 2023, Vinous.com
"A vineryard that should perform strongly in this kind of vintage, because located right next to the river for air conditioning, with a mix of gravel with clear clay sections to retain freshness, and it's definitely one to look out for. Layers of redcurrant, raspberry and blackcurrant fruits, juicy mouthwatering finish, peony, pencil lead, orange peel, 3.75ph. Certainly this is a great example of Meyney. Hubert de Boüard consultant. A buy."

"Deep, bright, crimson hue. Lively and lifted with a touch of well-integrated vanilla oak. Dark fruit and pencil lead as it opens. Ripe and juicy but keen and long as well. Plenty of polished tannin behind. Good acidity and refreshment. Dry but not drying finish. Poised and really rather fine. Clear potential."
