The 2020 Grand Mayne is focused and delineated on a nose that offers plenty of finely chiseled scents of black cherry, bilberry, crushed rock and incense, opulent but beautifully controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit on the entry, and laced with graphite, touches of tobacco and minerals. From beginning to end, this 2020 displays wonderful tension, and there is a sense of refinement on the finish that I think has only manifested in vintages of Grand Mayne over the last 5–6 years. This delivers, or perhaps overdelivers considering the price.
Producer
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.
