Winemaker Notes
Chateau Franc Mayne is planted predominately with Merlot but also some Cabernet Franc. Much of the vineyard is located on Saint-Emilion’s most prized limestone plateau which confers to a blend all the mineral complexity of a great wine. Careful attention in the vineyard, manual harvesting of each parcel and first-class winemaking facilities, coupled with a real knowledge, ensure that the wines of Franc Mayne remain some of the finest of its appellation.

James Suckling
Fabulous aromas of crushed blueberries and minerals with flowers follow through to a full body, with solid fruit and tannin structure and a long, long finish. Very intense. Better than 2009. Try in 2017.

Wine Spectator
This delivers the profile of the vintage, with spice-infused raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry fruit coursing along nicely, followed by delineated anise and spice notes, all carried by a racy graphite spine. Rock-solid and nicely balanced, this should age elegantly. Best from 2014 through 2024.

Wine Enthusiast
A balanced and structured wine that shows fine acidity, berry fruits and dashing acidity. With the balance already there, it is developing well in barrel, promising a stylish wine down the road. Barrel Sample:89-91 Points
