Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classè 2023

What kind of wine it is

Chateau Grand Mayne Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe is a still red wine that embodies the winemaking identity of Bordeaux, produced by Chateau Grand Mayne. This blend combines Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to create a solid and balanced structure. The violet-ruby colour introduces a dense aromatic profile, where the bouquet clearly expresses notes of blueberry and blackcurrant, enhanced by delicate spring flowers, cedar and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a broad and harmonious sip, with flavours reminiscent of fruit preserves, ensuring remarkable expressive purity.

Where it comes from

This red originates from Saint-Émilion, a historic area of Bordeaux renowned for producing wines with a strong territorial character. The vineyards thrive on complex terrain, mainly characterised by a clay and limestone slope. Descending towards the foot of the hill, the soil composition becomes richer in red clay and sand. This specific geological formation supports the growth of the vines, giving the wine a defined identity and solid aromatic intensity. The character of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru translates into a precise and authentic taste profile.

How it is produced

The blend is vinified in wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks, with careful temperature control aimed at preserving the aromatic precision of the grapes. The wine then undergoes eighteen months of ageing in barrels, using both new and first-passage wood. This maturation consolidates the wine's structure and harmoniously integrates the boisé nuances. The process results in a wine with a rich texture, where the matrix of small dark fruits meets hints of vanilla, finishing with a sip of profound purity.
