Med en beliggenhed for foden af ét af Saint-Émilions bedste plateauer (kendt som Le Mayne), har Château Grand Mayne 17 hektar fantastiske vinmarker, som giver nogle af de fineste druer i regionen. 17 hektar er en forholdsvis stor besiddelse på højre bred, som er præget af små vingårde. Og så har ejendommen endda været meget større. Hele 130 hektar i 1800-tallet. Det er også de færreste ejendomme, som har en så prangende hovedbygning som Grand Maynes flotte slot, der er opført i 1600-tallet.
Château Grand Mayne har siden 1934 været i familien Nonys besiddelse. I perioden fra 1977 til 2001 blev slottet drevet af Jean-Pierre og hans kone Marie-Francoise. Efter hendes mands død i 2001, har Marie-Francoise fortsat familiens tradition, og drevet slottet sammen med den ældste søn Jean-Antoine. Der produceres årligt omkring 55.000 flasker. Vinen fadlagres i 16-18 måneder på egefade, hvoraf hele 60-70 fornys hvert år.

The 2025 Grand Mayne is impressive. Dark, layered and vibrant, Grand Mayne has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, licorice, mocha and a kiss of French oak all meld together in the glass. This big, broad-shouldered Saint-Émilion displays very fine balance and tons of character. Tasted two times.
The 2025 Grand Mayne reveals a fresh, expressive bouquet of dark berries, cassis and mulberries, becoming more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s supple and enveloping, with a velvety texture and a refined, well-defined tannic frame, concluding with a fresh, elegant finish marked by dark berry nuances. This is a more restrained, finely tuned expression than in previous vintages, aligning closely with the estate’s recent stylistic evolution.
Beautiful aromas on the nose, blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Fleshy and ripe while being so juicy and lifted, great energy and focus here, still touches of oak in the coffee, tobacco and clove elements, but the fruit has purity and this retains a much brighter, more focused expression than in some previous EP samples. Crunchy, crisp, lively yet still carrying that core of power and drive. If anything still a bit bitter on the finish but this will settle. 3.55pH. Ageing 18 months, 40% new barrels.
