Note di degustazione
A gorgeous, serious Saint-Emilion, the 2023 Château Grand Mayne offers ripe black cherries, graphite, sappy flowers, and spicy wood, with a hint of background chocolate. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and aged 16 months in 40% new French oak with the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels and foudre, it's medium-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with beautifully integrated oak, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. I'd happily have bottles in the cellar, and it will have two decades of prime drinking. Drink 2026-2045.

The 2023 Grand-Mayne is impressive, but it is also very young and in need of time. Black fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, leather, scorched earth and sweet French oak stain the palate. This large-scaled, broad Saint-Émilion needs time to be at its best. The style leans very much into the more opulent end of the spectrum. Tasted two times.
The 2023 Grand Mayne has a refined bouquet, red and black fruit with touches of tobacco and sous-bois, classical in style and very much in the mold of contemporary Grand Mayne. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a superb line of acidity with a clean and precise finish that fans out wonderfully. What a classy Saint-Émilion.
Very pretty, complex and serious nose of subtle dark spices, fresh blackberries, plums and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with precise, polished tannins. Lightly peppery in the lasting finish. medium velvety texture that is polished and caressing. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Drink from 2026.

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.
