Note di degustazione
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.

Light incense and grilled sandalwood toast, this is carefully handling the vintage, giving a gourmet twist with softly spoken grilled caramel alongside raspberry fruits. Harvest 25 September to 10 October. 40% new oak, Jean-Antoine Nony owner, Derenoncourt Consultant as of this vintage. An estate with historically high toast on the barrels, they are actively reducing that, and putting a portion in 5,000l oak casks.
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.
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.

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.
