Chateau Grand Mayne 2014

Chateau Grand Mayne 2014

Château Grand-Mayne酒莊由 Laveau 家族在十八世紀時創立，當時面積高達上百公頃。1934 年時，酒莊由 Nony 家族買入，直到今日。酒莊位於Saint Emilion產區之最佳位置，優良的高度與土壤使本酒莊成為本產區最有潛力之酒廠之一，已故Baron Philippe de Rothschild (波爾多五大酒莊之一Château Mouton Rothschild擁有者)在比利時一家餐館試飲1955年份呢支酒後，馬上訂了幾箱而以同樣瓶數之Château Mouton Rothschild 1955交換，可見本酒莊釀造之葡萄酒的品質。

The 2014 Grand-Mayne has a fragrant bouquet, perhaps more refined than in recent years with dried rose petals and incense fusing with the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a gentle build towards a vivid, lightly spiced finish that maintains impressive delineation, perhaps less extracted and more precise than wines of the past. This is a superb Grand-Mayne that represents a subtle change in tack for the estate—one that this writer approves of. Tasted on three occasions and consistent every time. Drink Date 2020-2040

Fleshy, with a hint of extraction as the core shows dark fig and boysenberry pâte de fruit flavors, flecked with plum skin and mulling spice notes. A solid brambly tow on the finish stretches this out, while a lingering alder hint adds range. Best from 2018 through 2028. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,167 cases made.
