Vinous

The 2024 Grand Mayne is an elegant, understated Saint-Émilion. Proprietor Jean-Antoine Nony has dialed back the style quite a bit, something that is accented in 2024. A healthy dollop of Cabernet Franc lends notable aromatic presence. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and espresso meld into a core of bright red-toned fruit. It will be interesting to see how things develop here. Tasted two times. 04/2025

The 2024 Grand Mayne has a pleasant bouquet, with blackberry, raspberry, pressed violet and crushed stone aromas opening nicely in the glass. It is lovely! The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a bit more flesh compared to its peers. This is quite linear in style and shorter than the best vintages, yet clearly thoughtfully and assiduously crafted with a bright, more-ish finish. 04/2025

Based on 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 40% new oak barrels along with one- and two-year-old barrels, the 2024 Château Grand Mayne reveals impressive black cherries, framboise, spicy wood, and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is clearly an outstanding wine. 05/2025

Beau rouges sombre et intense. Joli nez moyennement intense, au fruité mûr et suave. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, le vin glisse sur le palais, élégamment tramé, long, agréable et très bon. Une inspiration bourguignonne. Assemblage : 70 % merlot, 30 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°5. Rendement : 30 hl/ha. Production : 45 000 bouteilles. 04/2025

The mineral and blackberry character comes though, with a medium body and polished tannins that finish beautifully. 04/2025
