Chateau Grand Mayne 2019

A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru by Château Grand Mayne

The estate
The Château Grand Mayne is a true ship amidst a sea of vines in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Erected in the 15th century, it did not take on its viticultural role until the 17th century with the Laveau family, who brought 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 works. Today, the Nony family, still at the helm of Château Grand Mayne, maintains this member of Bordeaux's wine elite.

The vineyard
Planted on a clay-limestone hillside and at the foot of a clay slope, this vineyard of Saint-Émilion covers 17 hectares, 14.5 of which are in production.

Winemaking and aging
Harvest from 23 September to 9 October. Winemaking in wooden vats and temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aging in barrels for 18 months. 60% new barrels, 40% one-wine barrels.

Blend
This Château Grand Mayne 2019 is a blend of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%).
