Suckling om: Chateau Grand Mayne Grand Cru Classe

Very pretty, complex and serious nose of subtle dark spices, fresh blackberries, plums and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with precise, polished tannins. Lightly peppery in the lasting finish. medium velvety texture that is polished and caressing. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Drink from 2026.

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Grand Mayne Grand Cru Classe

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Grand Mayne bursts with bold notes of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and Indian spices, leading to suggestions of underbrush, dried sage, and cedar. The medium- to full-bodied palate has a velvety texture and great tension supporting the tight-knit black fruit and exotic spice flavors, finishing long and fragrant.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Grand Mayne Grand Cru Classe

A gorgeous, serious Saint-Emilion, the 2023 Château Grand Mayne offers ripe black cherries, graphite, sappy flowers, and spicy wood, with a hint of background chocolate. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and aged 16 months in 40% new French oak with the balance in one- and two-year-old barrels and foudre, it's medium-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with beautifully integrated oak, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. I'd happily have bottles in the cellar, and it will have two decades of prime drinking. Drink 2026-2045.

Galloni om: Chateau Grand Mayne Grand Cru Classe

The 2023 Grand-Mayne is impressive, but it is also very young and in need of time. Black fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, leather, scorched earth and sweet French oak stain the palate. This large-scaled, broad Saint-Émilion needs time to be at its best. The style leans very much into the more opulent end of the spectrum. Tasted two times.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Grand Mayne Grand Cru Classe

The 2023 Grand Mayne has a refined bouquet, red and black fruit with touches of tobacco and sous-bois, classical in style and very much in the mold of contemporary Grand Mayne. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a superb line of acidity with a clean and precise finish that fans out wonderfully. What a classy Saint-Émilion.

Grand Mayne

Da afdøde Baron Phillipe de Rothschild smagte 1955 Grand Mayne på en restaurant, bestilte han straks flere kasser og tilbød til gengæld at levere et tilsvarende antal 55 Mouton!
