Château Grand Mayne

Located north-west of the town of St-Emilion, this château was built in 1767 and since 1934 has been owned and run by the Nony family with Jean-Pierre Nony at the helm since 1975. With 19 hectares of vineyards, the château is superbly sited on the edge of a limestone plateau, where the soils are rich in clay, limestone and iron.

A fresh and vibrant bouquet, the mouthfeel is very silky and velvety in texture with intense ripe plum fruits all enveloping. The tannins are grippy but there is an all round racy elegance that provides a perfect balance.

Great paired with duck breast with bacon, cabbage and balsamic dressing.

Yields of 41hl/ha. Aged in 60% new oak barrels and 40% in one year old barrels for 18 months.
