Description
Jean-Antoine Nony is looking to increase the proportion of Cabernet Franc in his vineyard and its importance is evident in 2019. The Merlot is exceedingly ripe and the palate would be viscous without the leavening touch of 20% Cabernet Franc – but there is no sense of over-maturity in this generous and somewhat forthright wine. Drink 2026-2038. Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

Critics reviews
Neal Martin MW 94-96/100
The 2019 Grand Mayne takes its time to unfold in the glass, eventually delivering enticing and very pure red berry fruit, beautifully defined and less exuberant than some of the vintages I was tasting 15-20 years ago. There is a sense of terroir and mineralité in situ. The palate is saline on the entry, immediately grabbing your attention thanks to unbridled freshness and vivacity. Slightly grainy in texture, the umami sensation that glides towards a very precise and natural finish is wonderful here. Grand Mayne has been on an upward swing in recent vintages and this is another outstanding wine from Jean-Antoine Nony.Neil Martin, Vinous.com (June 2020)
