A heady, exotic Saint-Émilion, the 2023 Grand-Mayne makes a strong opening statement. Readers will find a wine of dimension and textural resonance. Blackberry, chocolate, licorice, spice and dried herbs are all beautifully amplified. This is impressive. 04/2024

The 2023 Grand Mayne was picked from September 11 to October 5 at 49hL/ha, matured in 60% new oak. It has a fragrant and pure bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit, wilted roses and a light marine scent. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a keen thread of acidity and a sense of mineralité toward the finish. Nicely poised throughout, this is a very delicious and refined Saint-Émilion in the making, deserving four or five year in bottle. 04/2024

Red and black fruits, chocolaty herbs, graphite, and a kiss of solid minerality all emerge from the 2023 Château Grand Mayne, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, beautifully balanced 2023 that has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a juicy, lively profile with tons to love. 05/2024

Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr et toasté. Délicat en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec un beau toucher et un déroulé impeccable, le vin évolue long, juteux, savoureux, sur une tannicité minutieuse. C'est très bon, plus précis et plus détaillé que par le passé. Assemblage : 75 % merlot, 25 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 13,8°. Rendement : 53 hl/ha. 04/2024

A very fine-grained red with tannins that caress your palate. Medium body. Reserved fruit character. Shows a nicely crafted expression already. 04/2024
