Tasting notes
The 2025 Grand Mayne is very refined and poised on the nose, fresher than many of its Right Bank peers, with red berry fruit, cedar and subtle sous-bois scents. The palate is framed by very supple tannins, matched by a keen line of acidity, lightly spiced, very cohesive, with a prolonged and elegant finish. Just a great Saint-Émilion 2025 that should age with style.

A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc from clay and limestone hillside soils as well as some sandier portions on the lower slopes, the 2025 Château Grand Mayne reveals ripe black cherries, graphite, smoky herbs, and a beautiful sense of minerality on the nose. It's medium-bodied on the palate, concentrated and focused, with firm tannins and a good finish. I love its overall balance, and it's a beautiful wine from this estate. I suspect a few years of bottle age will be warranted.
Solid, well framed and dense. Dark berry and warm spice aromas follow through to a medium body with chewy tannins. Plenty of purple fruit character on the palate, with a chewy finish.
The 2025 Grand Mayne is impressive. Dark, layered and vibrant, Grand Mayne has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, licorice, mocha and a kiss of French oak all meld together in the glass. This big, broad-shouldered Saint-Émilion displays very fine balance and tons of character. Tasted two times.
About the producer
The Nony family has been at the helm of this 17-hectare estate for three generations, since the 1930s, but it’s under Jean-Antoine – in charge since 2015 – that quality here has soared.
