Chateau Grand Mayne 2005

The freshness and structure of a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The estate

The Château Grand Mayne is a true ship in a sea of vines in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Erected in the 15th century, it did not take on its winemaking role until the 17th century with the Laveau family, who led the vineyard and estate to its peak in the 18th century. In 1934, the Nony family took over the wine estate and undertook major renovation work. Today, the Nony family, still at the helm of Château Grand Mayne, maintains this member of Bordeaux’s wine elite.

The vineyard

Château Grand Mayne is a Saint-Émilion wine from a 17.43-hectare vineyard. The vines, averaging 35 years old, are planted on a clay-limestone hillside and at the foot of a clay slope.

Vinification and aging

Vinification in oak and stainless steel tanks. Aging in barrels (70% new and 30% one-wine).

Blend

This Château Grand Mayne 2005 is the result of a blend of Merlot (75%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%).
