Chateau Meyney Prieur de Meyney, Saint-Estephe, Bordeaux, France 2018

Prieur de Meyney 2018 is a supple and polished second wine that captures the depth of Saint-Estèphe in an approachable style. Ripe blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of graphite shape the nose, while the palate offers smooth, rounded tannins supported by the vintage’s natural richness. Subtle cedar and spice from well-integrated oak add complexity without overpowering the fruit. It drinks beautifully now, with enough structure to develop further, making it a standout value from a strong Left Bank harvest.
