Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 1998

An unqualified sleeper of the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 1995 Grand-Mayne displays a sweet, creamy, black raspberry-scented nose with subtle notes of smoky, toasty oak. Both powerful and elegant, this wine exhibits layers of richness, nicely integrated acidity and tannin, and an impressive full-bodied, long finish. This offering should be drinkable early, and keep for over a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2013.

Wine Spectator, January 1998

In-your-face aromas of toasted oak, ripe berries and chocolate. Full-bodied, with loads of ripe fruit and a long, smoke and berry finish. Absolutely moreish. Best from 2002 through 2006. –JS

About Winery

Mayne comes from the word "manor", which used to mean "a fine house surrounded by a certain amount of land".
 
The old description and the modern concept are both eminently suitable to describe this magnificent property built between the end of the 15th and the early 16th centuries.The Laveau family can be traced back to Grand Mayne as early as 1685. Jacques Laveau, was the first to settle at Mayne, but it was his son, Jean, who in 1811, bought Chateau Soutard. That enabled him to extend his estate. Unfortunately, the cascading dominoes of inheritance rapidly put an end to the Laveau empire.

After several other owners, Jean Nony, a wine negociant from the Correze, purchased the current estate Grand Mayne in 1934. Jean Pierre (son of Jean Nony) and Marie Francoise Nony managed the estate from 1977 to 2001. Since the death of her husband, Marie-Francoise continues to manage surrounded by a competent team and her two sons.
