Summary
Prieur de Meyney is the second wine from Château Meyney, known in the 17th century as Prieuré des Couleys. A structured wine with intense aromas on the nose, and deep fruit flavours on the palate that show the ripeness of the grapes. It is an elegant and supple Saint-Estèphe, more forward than its big brother, yet built to pass the test of time.
From Saint-Estèphe in France, Château Meyney Prieur de Meyney Saint-Estèphe is a red. It blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
1,133 other reds from France form the cohort it is ranked inside. 616 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 637 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Meyney Prieur de Meyney Saint-Estèphe lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 616.
