The estate
Château Grand Mayne is a great vessel in a sea of vines in the heart of the Saint-Émilion appellation. Established in the 15th century, the property did not produce wine until the 17th century. In the 18^th century, the Laveau family elevated the vineyard and estate to the top of the appellation. In 1934, the Nony family took over the wine estate and undertook major renovations. Today, the Nony family, still at the helm of Château Grand Mayne continues to produce spectacular Bordeaux wines.
