CHATEAU GRAND MAYNE

WINERY HISTORY

Mayne can trace its 200-year history back to the Laveau family who acquired it in 1685. The attentive and loving care of Jean Laveau raised the vineyard to the highest level, as evidenced by the wine prices and praises in the Féret, the reputed 1846 Bordeaux wine directory.

Together with Figeac and Soutard, Mayne was at the time one of the most important estates in St. Émilion.

With no direct heirs, the Laveau empire was eventually dispersed amongst family heirs. Various owners succeeded until the beginning of the 20th century when the Nony family became the owners of what had become “Grand Mayne.”

It was in fact in 1934 that Jean Nony, a successful wine merchant established in the Chartrons trading district of Bordeaux, acquired the property from Noël Berbudeau.

WINE MAKING PROCESSES

They are proud representatives of the best terroirs of the western hillside and foot of St. Émilion, composed of clay and limestone. A subtle blend of merlot and cabernet franc, the wines of Grand Mayne combine the power of fruit, elegant tension and finesse. Known for their excellent ageing potential, the recent vintages of Château Grand Mayne are now more open and accessible in their early years.
