Weinwisser: "filigranes Bouquet, zarte Fliedernote, Sandelholz und Preiselbeersaft. Am saftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, vibrierender Rasse, gut strukturiert, reifes Tanningerüst. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen Finale blaue Beeren, Grafit und feinkörnige Adstringenz. Hier ist alles am richtigen Platz, ein beruhigender Sain-Émilion."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Rolls out of the glass with ready-to-go notes of ripe plums, black raspberries, and licorice, leading to hints of Sichuan pepper and garrigue. The medium-bodied palate is plush and fruity with a lively line and long spicy finish. Nice!"

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Quite floral in nature, the wine is medium-bodied, with a fresh, fruity character allowing you to experience all the cherries, plums, licorice, chocolate, and vibrancy, just about on release. The finish is focused, clean, elegant, and fresh. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2028-2044."

James Suckling: "The mineral and blackberry character comes though, with a medium body and polished tannins that finish beautifully."

Jeb Dunnuck: "Based on 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 40% new oak barrels along with one- and two-year-old barrels, the 2024 Château Grand Mayne reveals impressive black cherries, framboise, spicy wood, and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is clearly an outstanding wine."
