Over het wijnhuis | Château Franc Mayne, een Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé, ligt op één kilometer afstand van het wijndorp Saint-Emilion. In 2018 is het château overgenomen door de familie Savare, die als een blok voor het landgoed viel en gecharmeerd was van de mogelijkheden voor wijntoerisme. Leuk detail: Château Franc Mayne beschikt over een idyllische bed & breakfast. |

Awards | "The 2016 Franc-Mayne has a very rich and opulent bouquet with crème de cassis and blueberry aromas, although it needs to muster more delineation to compete with its peers. The palate is full-bodied with saturated tannin, juicy black cherry and wild strawberry fruit with an attractive spiciness developing on the finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A dense and fruity red with noteworthy focus, form and tension. Full-bodied, very tight and focused. Lightly angular tannins at the end with a salty undertone. A blend of 90 per cent merlot and ten per cent cabernet franc. Better in 2022." - James Suckling "Dark crimson. Solid but no lift. Stodgy with solid fruit and chunky tannins and an almost Sangiovese-like tang on the end. Ticks the boxes rather than thrills." - Jancis Robinson "The 2016 Franc-Mayne offers plush red cherries and plum on the nose, and hints of hoisin develop in the glass. Very precocious and opulent, just as it showed from barrel. The smooth, fresh palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin and a touch of soy toward the finish, which needs a little more length – hence my prudent score." - Vinous "Sleek and driven in feel, showing a juicy beam of cassis, raspberry and blackberry notes accented with light anise and apple wood accents. Features subtle grip through the finish, with a brambly edge adding extra texture and energy. Yum. Drink now through 2035. 2,417 cases made." - Wine Spectator |
