Château Méjean is a young winery in Bordeaux covering 8.2 hectares of vines at the gates of the Pessac-Léognan region. In 1999 the new owner and founder, Bruno Geraud, began to plant Merlot and Cabernet grapes and has managed to increase the size of the vineyards over time, with additional replanting efforts carried out in 2002. The estate practices self-sustaining farming techniques and the vines benefit from an exceptional terroir on clay, gravel and silica soils.
Pouring a beautiful shade of ruby in the glass, the bouquet opens up with inviting fruit aromas of black currants and bramble berries peppered with whiffs of vanilla and toasted spices. Supple on the palate, offering elegant tannins that seamlessly melt into the spiced fruits and tobacco notes. The aging is balanced between new and first-fill barrels and stainless steel vats, lasting between 12 and 18 months in order to achieve a complex and well rounded profile. Showing nicely now but will also reward further ageing.
This wine is best served with all types of roasted, braised, and grilled meat dishes including veal, beef or lamb.
