Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Wohlig ausströmendes Brombeerbouquet, mittleren Druck zeigend ist dabei aber vielschichtig und fein. Aromatischer Gaumen, feine Tannine und gut stüztende Säure in der mittelfeinden, noch verlangenden Adstringenz, erst im Finale kommt der volle Aromendruck. Hat Chancen an den grossen 98er anzuknüpfen.

The 2009 Grand Mayne has an opulent bouquet with well defined kirsch and red plum aromas, hints of cough candy emerge with time. It remains focused and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, layers of candied red fruit laced with orange peel and marmalade. It builds beautifully towards the finish. Excellent. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.

Another St.-Emilion smart buy for consumers, Grand-Mayne has made a number of top wines (except for a short period when they had some TCA issues). This is a full-throttle effort filled with blueberry and black raspberry fruit, perhaps slightly more oak than oakaphobes would prefer, but a full-bodied, concentrated, ageworthy style. Sweet tannin, low acidity and ripe fruit suggest this well-made St.-Emilion should drink nicely for 15-20 years.

Very dark, with almost heady blueberry and plum confiture flavors at the core, wrapped with extra cassis and boysenberry notes. Long and liberally laced with toast and mocha, with a licorice snap edge on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2024. 4,000 cases made. — JM

Château Grand Mayne
Situated to the north-west of Saint-Émilion, Château Grand Mayne is known for its deeply-colored, rich, aromatic wines. Since the 1930s this historic estate has been owned and managed by the Nony family, today, Marie-Françoise Nony and her two sons, Jean Antoine and Damien are at helm. Situated on the edge of the famed limestone plateau, Grand Mayne is home to 17 hectares of vineyards, planted to Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Michel Rolland has been a consultant for this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé property since 1973. The resulting wines are quality, full-bodied reds, and with the increased use of new oak they have developed a classic Mayne character, displaying lush flavors of cassis and liquorice.
