This is a very well sited Château, lying some 55-60 metres above the valley floor on 2 separate terroirs - compacted clay & limestone and gravel with a vine density of around 5500-7000 vines per hectare depending on the age of the vine and the gradual replanting program. The yield in 2025 was 40hl/ha, so considered a success!

Specification

Producer

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.

Tasting Notes

Rich, elegant and well structured, deeply coloured and immediately forward with crushed black fruits spiked with fresh raspberry, plum and red cherry. The oak is evident but supports the fruit and the wine is fresh and vibrant throughout. Long and intense in the mouth. Interesting hint of ginger and spice over the fruit and showing svelte and rounded tannins.
