The Wine

The 2020 Château Grand Mayne is a striking and expressive Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from one of the strongest vintages of the decade. Combining richness, clarity of fruit, and superb tannin quality, this wine reflects the estate’s limestone-clay slopes and its commitment to precision viticulture. The result is a refined yet powerful Right Bank wine with excellent balance and ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry, complemented by notes of violets, graphite, cedar, and baking spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and layered, offering a plush core of dark fruits framed by fine, polished tannins. Hints of cocoa, licorice, and fresh herbs add depth, supported by vibrant acidity.

Finish: Long, elegant, and mineral-driven, with lingering dark fruit and subtle savoury notes.
