Introduction:
The 2018 La Chapelle de Meyney is the second wine of Château Meyney, offering a more approachable yet still refined expression of Saint-Estèphe’s terroir. This Bordeaux blend showcases the depth, structure, and aging potential of the Médoc, with rich dark fruit, firm tannins, and classic Left Bank elegance.

Terrior:
Located in Saint-Estèphe, this wine benefits from gravelly soils with a clay sublayer, contributing to its power and structure. The proximity to the Gironde estuary helps moderate temperatures, allowing for balanced ripening and freshness.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with garnet hues, showing early signs of evolution.

Nose:
Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, with notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and hints of spice from oak aging.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins. Layers of dark fruit, cassis, and ripe cherry are complemented by earthy undertones, leather, and a touch of vanilla and clove from the oak. Bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced.

Finish:
Long and structured, with lingering dark fruit, tobacco, and mineral notes.

Overall Impression:
A well-crafted, classic Saint-Estèphe that offers early drinking pleasure while still having the potential to age. This wine pairs well with roasted meats, grilled lamb, and hearty stews.
