Punteggi dei critici
90 Robert Parker
The 2003 from Grand-Mayne, which has put on weight since bottling, will no doubt be controversial since it is extremely ripe. It is one of the few offerings from this vintage where one can see the exotic, almost over-the-top characteristics some critics suggest are commonplace in this year. A sleeper of the vintage, it is a sexy, broad, fleshy, low acid wine with an expansive texture, a flamboyant, ostentatious bouquet of plums, figs, sweet blueberries, and jammy blackberries, and noticeable, but silky tannin. This sex-pot is best consumed during its first 7-10 years of life.
90 Wine Spectator
Dark chocolate with berry and roasted coffee on the nose. Full-bodied, with firm, chewy tannins. Juicy and rich. Hard not to drink now. Seductive wine. Best after 2008. 1,330 cases made. ?JS

Produttore
Château Grand Mayne
Situato a nord-ovest di Saint-Émilion, Château Grand Mayne è conosciuto per i suoi vini ricchi, aromatici e dall’intensa colorazione. A partire dagli anni ’30 del Novecento questa tenuta storica è di proprietà della famiglia Nony e oggi è gestita da Marie-Françoise Nony e dai suoi due figli, Jean Antoine e Damien. Sul limitare del famoso altopiano calcareo, Grand Mayne ospita 17 ettari di vigneto, impiantati a Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (15%) e Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Dal 1973, Michel Rolland è consulente di questa tenuta Grand Cru Classé. I vini che ne risultano sono rossi corposi e di qualità che, grazie a un impiego sempre maggiore di botti di rovere nuove, hanno saputo sviluppare il carattere tipico dello Château, con sentori seducenti di Cassis e liquirizia.
