Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Vinous 96 points! Wine Advocate 94 points!

Chateau Franc Mayne Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is a beautiful Merlot-driven wine gem from the esteemed Saint-Emilion appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. "The 2020 Franc Mayne is dense, resonant and beautifully explosive in the glass. Sumptuous dark red/purplish fruit, rose petals, mint and lavender all saturate the palate. This heady Saint-Émilion really delivers the goods. There's plenty of energy and tension to balance the more forward nature of the Merlot. Superb. Drink 2028-2050."—Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96 points!

“The 2020 Franc-Mayne has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless palate of real class and purity. Vibrant and polished, with vibrant fruit, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish, it's further evidence that this is an estate on the rise. Drink 2023-2045.”—William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94 points!
