The Château spreads over 40 hectares including 29 hectares of vineyards and 11 of woods and fields. It is located in the village of Villegouge in the Fronsac region, only a few miles from the Grand Cru Saint Emilion and Pomerol. The vines from the Chateau Roc Meynard are right on the border of the Fronsac AOC, separated by just a small dirt alley. The soils are mainly composed of chalk and clay and the vineyards are planted primarily of Merlot.

Winemaking at Meynard is ancestral, and like the map of Belleyme dating from the 18th century, tradition proves it. The estate was bought by the Ray family, already winemakers in Fronsac, at the end of the 19th century. During the hard freezes of 1956, the vineyards, at the time half planted in red and half in white grapes, were partially destroyed and the vines left to the coop.
When Philippe Hermouet took over the vineyard in 1987, there were only 4 hectares of red vines left. The replanting and buying back parcels of red grapes lasted until early 2000. This choice was made to respect the terroir and follow the great tradition surrounding the Chateau, from Saint Emilion, Pomerol, and Fronsac. The entire estate was modernized during this time to improve quality and production. The Chateau Roc Meynard is now in perfect condition to produce high quality wines.
