"The 2022 Grand Mayne is a big, heady wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather and licorice open in an ample, explosive Saint-Émilion loaded with character. Blood orange, spice, menthol and mocha appear later, adding aromatic lift and vibrancy to play off all that richness. There's certainly a lot of wine here. Gorgeous. Tasted two times."

"Blackberries, black olives and blueberries with crushed-stone character on both the nose and palate. It’s medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a creamy texture. Extremely well-made. Best after 2030."

"The 2022 Château Grand Mayne checks in as 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, and it hit 14.5% alcohol, which is well with normal ranges. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a concentrated, richly textured, balanced wine that has ample chocolate, red and black fruit, subtle leather, graphite, and sappy herbs and floral nuances. With medium to full body, ripe tannins, and outstanding length, it's beautifully done and has a terrific mix of finesse, elegance, and concentration."

"Liquorice, tobacco and clove - some spiced notes on the nose with blackcurrants. Smells plush. Supple and cool, excellent freshness combined with a silky, smooth texture that has grip too. You get flesh, pulp, salty minerality, and bitter chocolate with some bitter orange and blackcurrant leaf. Feels complex and characterful, dark and serious no doubt, this is not bright and vibrant like some, it’s more deep but totally seductive. A bit old school with toasted elements, a little fully charged and full, lacking a tiny bit more finesse overall - I wish this was a little more lifted but this is an enjoyable wine."

"Impressive, textured with depth to the construction overall. Redcurrant and black cherry fruits, different levels of sweetness and acidity, helps add complexity, with a lick of liquorice that runs throughout. Nony family owners, 41hl/h yield, clay limestone soils. Harvest 8-20 September."

"More oaky and firm than it was during the en primeur tasting, the 2022 Grand Mayne reveals an oaky, introverted bouquet of oak, spices, espresso roast and dark berries. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it has a fleshy core of fruit and an assertive, youthful tannic frame that segues into a long yet firm and somewhat dry finish. This is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc."
