2016 | Château Grand Mayne | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru La Maialina tart pomegranate and violets set

tart pomegranate and violets set against a backdrop of black cherries with an energetic drive thanks to a spine of smoky minerality - Brambly barn yard nose

There is a faint sensation of ripeness

glistening with grapefruit

The wine ferments and matures in concrete eggs until bottling

some nice mid-palate richness and mineral acidity

2016 | Château Grand Mayne | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru La Maialina tart pomegranate and violets setThe 2016 Chteau Grand Mayne is a beauty and could turn into a real superstar with 3 4 years of bottle age. This deep ruby colored effort gives up lots of currant and cassis fruits as well as subtle new oak in its violet and mineral driven aromas and flavors. Medium to full bodied, beautifully concentrated, with fine tannins and impeccable balance, its seriously impressive. Give it a few years and it should keep for two decades or more. 93 Pts Jeb
