The 2024 vintage in Saint-Estèphe
Vintage benchmark: 87/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A rainy spring and a difficult flowering reduced the crop; the dry October saved fine, light, easy-drinking wines.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Saint-Estèphe. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
While the contrasts between the terroirs are pronounced, the finest soils gave rise to wines with an elegant structure and refined aromatics. This first vintage certified organic illustrates Château Meyney's ability to meet challenges with mastery and determination, confirming its commitment to sustainable, demanding viticulture.

Terroir
Cabernet Sauvignon draws on a perfectly drained terroir of siliceous gravels and, together with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, gives rise to a wine that is ample, fleshy and structured. At maturity it develops the inimitable charm of the great Saint-Estèphes. Across the estate's 43 hectares, the vines, averaging 40 years of age, are made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (10%). Besides the Garonne gravels of which it is composed, the vineyard has one distinctive feature: a 3-metre-thick seam of blue clay buried in the subsoil, also found at Pétrus.
