Tasting notes
The 2004 Grand Mayne shows nicely at 16-years of age with lively blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with cedar and light tobacco aromas, classic in style and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Good concentration here for a 2004 with a strict, chalky-textured and lightly spiced finish that demonstrates good attack. This is one of the better Saint-Émilion 2004s that you can buy. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.

Deeply coloured with a black core and wide ruby rim. Smells slightly porty – ripe and a little spirity. Chewy and a little harsh on the palate. Alcohol seems high though the label says 13.5%. (JH)
Complete and very round but perhaps a little bit simple? Certainly flattering and very easy to love. Lots of fine dry tannins on the finish. (JR)
About the producer
The Nony family has been at the helm of this 17-hectare estate for three generations, since the 1930s, but it’s under Jean-Antoine – in charge since 2015 – that quality here has soared.
