Chateau Grand Mayne 2009

A full-bodied and lively Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion

The property

Château Grand Mayne is a true vessel amidst a sea of vines in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Built in the 15th century, it did not take on a winemaking function until the 17th century with the Laveau family, who led the vineyard and property to their peak in the 18th century. In 1934, the Nony family acquired the estate and undertook major renovation works. 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.

Winemaking and aging

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

Blend

This Château Grand Mayne 2009 is the result of a blend of merlot (85%) and cabernet franc (15%).
