Chateau Meyney
France - Bordeaux

Château Meyney was one of the first sites in the Médoc and prestigious Saint-Estephe area to be planted with vines in the 13th century by the Cisteron monks. In 1662, it was a convent mentioned in records under the names Couvent des Feuillants or Prieuré des Couleys. It belonged to the Feuillants monks. Today, the estate stretches over some of the best hilltops above the Gironde Estuary. The river lying alongside the first rows of vines makes for a majestic, serene landscape. The estate belonged to the Luetkens family for several generations, and was then acquired by Mr Désiré Cordier in 1919. In 2004, CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Groupe Crédit Agricole, acquired Château Meyney, with a determination to strengthen the potential of this outstanding cru.

Meyney benefits from an exceptional site, a unique terroir, a rich and long history, making it an outstanding Médoc estate.
