2024 Château Grand Mayne

The 2024 Grand Mayne has a pleasant bouquet, with blackberry, raspberry, pressed violet and crushed stone aromas opening nicely in the glass. It is lovely! The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a bit more flesh compared to its peers. This is quite linear in style and shorter than the best vintages, yet clearly thoughtfully and assiduously crafted with a bright, more-ish finish. - Neal Martin (04/2025)

The mineral and blackberry character comes though, with a medium body and polished tannins that finish beautifully. (04/2025)

Based on 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 40% new oak barrels along with one- and two-year-old barrels, the 2024 Château Grand Mayne reveals impressive black cherries, framboise, spicy wood, and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is clearly an outstanding wine. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Rolls out of the glass with ready-to-go notes of ripe plums, black raspberries, and licorice, leading to hints of Sichuan pepper and garrigue. The medium-bodied palate is plush and fruity with a lively line and long spicy finish. Nice! (05/2025)
