Wine Enthusiast
This spicy wine, aged in new wood, is rich and full with blackberry flavors. It’s opulent in texture with layers of new oak that reverberate through the wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of my favorite "under the radar" St.-Emilion estates (the 1998 is spectacular), the full-bodied, impressively well-endowed, opaque purple-colored 2012 Grand-Mayne offers up scents of blueberries, crushed rocks, spring flowers, vanilla and black raspberries. It is a blue fruit-dominated wine with lots of body, sweet tannin and hedonistic, almost primordial appeal because of its exuberant glycerin, texture and fullness.

Wine Spectator
Delivers more bass than treble, with cocoa and ganache notes leading the way for a core of fig and tobacco flavors. A muscular style, but the components work together rather than at odds.
Barrel Sample: 89-92 Points -
James Suckling
A wine with very pretty fruit and well-integrated tannins with a nutty, berry and spice character. Outstanding length.
Barrel Sample: 90-91 Points
Thanks to a fine terroir - famous for over three centuries - as well as exemplary work in the vineyard, precision winemaking, and careful ageing, Grand Mayne produces wines that have won numerous distinctions and earned glowing reviews in the press for their exceptional bouquet of gret finesse.
