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. 04/2026

The 2025 Grand Mayne is very refined and poised on the nose, fresher than many of its Right Bank peers, with red berry fruit, cedar and subtle sous-bois scents. The palate is framed by very supple tannins, matched by a keen line of acidity, lightly spiced, very cohesive, with a prolonged and elegant finish. Just a great Saint-Émilion 2025 that should age with style. 05/2026

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. 04/2026

A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc from clay and limestone hillside soils as well as some sandier portions on the lower slopes, the 2025 Château Grand Mayne reveals ripe black cherries, graphite, smoky herbs, and a beautiful sense of minerality on the nose. It's medium-bodied on the palate, concentrated and focused, with firm tannins and a good finish. I love its overall balance, and it's a beautiful wine from this estate. I suspect a few years of bottle age will be warranted. 05/2026

Beau rouge sombre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur. Très beau à l'agitation du verre. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec un corps tendre et beaucoup de fruits, le vin glisse, caresse et s'achève séveux et parfumé. C'est très bon. Assemblage : 62% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°5. 04/2026

Solid, well framed and dense. Dark berry and warm spice aromas follow through to a medium body with chewy tannins. Plenty of purple fruit character on the palate, with a chewy finish. 04/2026
