Note di degustazione
Deep ruby/purple-hued, with a clean, straightforward style in its pure red and black fruits, as well as some herbs, flowers, and graphite, the 2023 Château Franc Mayne comes from a beautiful terroir just outside the village of Saint-Emilion, on the upper plateau with slightly deeper soils. All Merlot raised in 50% new oak, it’s tight and closed, medium-bodied, pure, and balanced on the palate, with solid purity, ripe, building tannins, and outstanding length. I’d like to see a touch more mid-palate depth here, but I suspect this will gain complexity and weight with 3-5 years of bottle age and should have 20-25 years of overall prime drinking. Drink 2029-2051.

The 2023 Franc Mayne is gorgeous. Sensual and layered in the glass, with captivating aromatics, Franc Mayne is captivating. Crushed rose petal, cinnamon, new leather, pomegranate and blood orange are all beautifully lifted. This is such a classy, elegant wine. Give it a few years in bottle.
The 2023 Franc Mayne has a fresh, marine-influenced bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and touches of seaweed in the background. Classical in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lighter than some of its peers, open-knit, with a smooth finish that just needs a bit more grip. Drink over the next decade.
Subtle aromas of milk chocolate, thyme, asphalt and dark berries. Round but elegant, medium- to full-bodied, it’s refined, with velvety tannins and an overall clean, precise style. 100% Merlot. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
