The 2021 Grand Mayne has a pure, sensual bouquet of perfumed red and blue fruit, quite floral in style. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and fine tannins, and quite mineral-driven, leading to a poised, persistent finish. This is another excellent wine from Jean-Antoine and Damien Nony. Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2022

The 2021 Grand Mayne is a success, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, sweet soil tones and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, lively and supple, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe tannins and succulent acids, it represents a strong performance. Tasted three times.

Here is a wine where the touch of smoked oak does a good job of filling out the mid palate, clear clove and tar, 50% new oak 33hl/h yield. Abrupt on the finish, a little austere, but there is careful extraction and a sense of precision. Tasted twice.
Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, May 2022

The 2021 Grand Mayne offers up rich aromas of crème de cassis, fruitcake and toasty new oak, followed by a medium-bodied palate with an ample attack that segues into a mid-palate built around powdery tannins and tangy acids that carry through to the somewhat metallic finish.

Reticent nose with a floral nuance. Compact with layered fruit and integrated tannins. Slightly drying finish but there is substance. (JL)
