Filia de Grand Mayne Grand Cru Saint-Émilion Bordeaux France 2019

Grand Mayne represents a homogeneous group of stone buildings. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, the château towers the vineyard where it sits.
The outhouses adjoining the château were built in the 17th century with stone excavated from regional limestone quarries. The architects sought to protect the château from intrusions and westerly ocean winds by constructing a long building facing due west, whose rhythm is harmoniously broken in its centre by a close, paved semicircular arch through which horse-drawn carriages could ride in.
Over the years, a monumental wine cellar and outbuildings have completed this vast complex bordered by long rubble stone walls.
As for the vineyard of Grand Mayne, it grows in a single unit in an ideal natural amphitheatre on the hillside and at the foot of St. Émilion.
