Note di degustazione
The 2014 Grand Mayne is fully mature on the nose with macerated black cherries, marmalade, melted tar and licorice. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins. It's pretty ferrous in style and a little frayed toward the finish. This is another Saint-Émilion that seems to have advanced more than expected in recent years. Tasted non-blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Very well-integrated nose but still pretty drying tannins on the end. Severe finish. Shame. (JR)
The 2014 Grand-Mayne has a fragrant bouquet, perhaps more refined than in recent years with dried rose petals and incense fusing with the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a gentle build towards a vivid, lightly spiced finish that maintains impressive delineation, perhaps less extracted and more precise than wines of the past. This is a superb Grand-Mayne that represents a subtle change in tack for the estate—one that this writer approves of. Tasted on three occasions and consistent every time.

The Nony family has been at the helm of this 17-hectare estate for three generations, since the 1930s, but it’s under Jean-Antoine – in charge since 2015 – that quality here has soared.
