Château Meyney (St. Estèphe)
Earthy, tobacco cedar and leafy forest notes almost overwhelm the red fruits and spice. Medium-bodied, fully mature, there is no reason to hold this wine any longer. 2,750 Views Tasted Aug 4, 2020 |
When to Drink Chateau Meyney, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Meyney can be enjoyed early. However, the wine is often better with at least a few years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau Meyney is usually best enjoyed in the first 10-20 years after the vintage when it is at full maturity.
Young vintages can be decanted for 1-2 hours. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Serving Chateau Meyney with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Meyney is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Meyney is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Meyney is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
